{'comment': "I was a police officer in a sanctuary city, Houston.\n\nI'm not sure about the act you listed but illegal immigrants do not qualify for SNAP or housing assistance or anything.  \n\nWhen I say illegal immigrant, I'm reference people who cross the border illegally and work here or something.\n\n\nHowever, they do give money to people who are undocumented and food stamps.   \n\nWhen I say undocumented I am referring to someone who normally comes here without a passport and unexpectedly.  Normally seeking asylum.\n\nIn order to seek asylum you need to first come here and stay without any documentation often and apply for it.  They often are given handouts to help them when they first get here while their case is looked at.  Only people from certain countries and situations can apply for asylum.\n\n\nI understand it's a bit confusing but just because someone is here with no id or passport doesn't make them here illegally.  They are in a sort of purgatory while they go through the legal system.\n\n\nMost illegals actually pay taxes, and few commit crimes their crime rate is slightly lower then the average American.  It's hard to avoid sales tax when you buy something or property tax when it's included in your rent.  \n\nIf your hiding from the government, committing a crime makes you stand out and they try to avoid that.\n\n\nAnd yes many states and cities IE Houston did not require an ID.   Well we couldn't arrest someone for not having an ID.  And we accepted Mexican IDs which where basically just printed on a sheet on paper and had no verification.\n\n\nI am not sure what you mean by an organized effort to get them here.

A detainer is no good if the city doesn’t honor it and ice doesn’t know when they are being released to take the hand off \n\nIdk if you heard of the immigrants that jumped the cops in nyc were released on bond. One no $ bond and one 25k bond', 'created': '2024-11-18 23:51:10', 'submission_id': '1gud065'}

I mean really, whats 30 or so Abrams tanks going to do to shape the war in Ukraine. Thats a tiny, tiny amount in the grand scheme of things but yet, its touted as some game breaking wonderweapon that can turn the tides of war. \n\nThe same goes for all the other Nato weapons that have been delivered. Anything less than a couple hundred leopard 2s, challenger 2s or F16s will barely make a dent in the frontline. Earlier this week, i saw some news reporting that France is sending a whopping SIX Mirage 2000s to ukraine. SIX OF THEM. Thats a tiny amount. Not even enough for one squadron. \n\nUnder Biden, the Ukraine war would forever be locked in a eternal stalement with Ukraine slowly but steadily losing ground with occasional weapons aid delivers coming in the form of like, 10 more Abrams tanks and 30 more howitzers. They're just enough to keep the frontline from collapsing, but not enough to change things.\n\nI hope that under Trump and his cabinet, he'll be able to do something more substantial to help ukraine if a peace deal cannot be brokered.", 'created': '2024-11-18 02:09:31', 'submission_id': '1gtmuiy'}

Foe they also see us as their enemies and rivals.\n\nA quote from the U.S Government of Accountability Office on China "China’s harmful and unfair economic practices, including trade in illicit goods, use of forced labor, and theft of sensitive technologies pose risks to the U.S. economic and security interests. China is also developing its military capabilities, posing challenges to the U.S. military". They\'re oppressive regimes who, outside of oppressing their own people, also harm the peace and stability in their region. China threatens our allies in the region including Taiwan, Philippines, Japan and South korea whilst working to undermine our own capabilities. \n\nRussia on the other hand is gearing up its entire society for war. They\'re indoctrinating their kids to hate on the West so that in the future, they have a steady supply of fresh recruits. All the while they\'re economy is transitioning to a war time economy in preparation for a war. \n\nIn the event that either of these nations get their way, we\'d see the thin peace and stability we enjoy, be shattered as they start world war three over the ambitions of one foolish man.\n\nBelieve me, if there was a way to diplomatically heal the rift between our adverseries, whilst not compromising ourselves and our allies, we would\'ve pursued that a long time ago.', 'created': '2024-11-18 23:10:59', 'submission_id': '1gtmuiy'}

{'comment': 'There is no way I can convince everybody here that human caused climate change exists or has negative consequences.\n\nNow I will put forward that there are other reasons to support more efficient energy sources/production. The US economy benefits when we are efficient, if we can produce the same amount or more with less we are all better off for it. Some sources of energy are not efficient, coal being a prime example; coal power plants that operate in the US have an efficiency of about 33%. Whereas natural gas plants can reach efficiencies in the 70% range. Nuclear is similar to the efficiency of coal; however, the waste produced is in some ways easier to deal with.\n\nMoreover, should be striving to make our vehicles more efficient, just not with the government meddling with how that is accomplished. I am happy when I get good mileage, because it costs me less.', 'created': '2024-11-17 18:40:23', 'submission_id': '1gte8sp'}

You not buying more things which are created by making more emissions and waste (makes you richer not companies) or you literally using two garbage bags one for recycle and another for regular, that doesn't benefit anyone financially. There's no global agenda to fool some random carpenter down in Iowa dude. Move on, understand you're not at the center of the universe. If you're brain cannot grasp these concepts in a simple BIO1000 or even a children's book, you can create these experiments for yourself.\n\nTake 3 small plants. Water one regularly, the other over water and another water irregularly. Keep the sunlight as a constant. Some of them will die depending on the species. Just because us humans have a crazy ability to adapt doesn't mean other species can.\n\nOR\n\nTake a cup, put some freezing temp water (the same freezing temp you follow for snow directions) and throw a cube of ice on it and mark the water level once they're both in the freezer. Now lower the degree of the freezer by a tiny degree or two. Recheck the new water level. This is the hard part, imagine that the water is the ocean, and there's hundreds of these ice cubes but the size of texas. I'm sure you can see how a global rising of the temp can create a lot of excess water.\n\nYou can try those without any government or private agency employing hundreds of thousands of 9-5ers all around the world to try and fool you for an unprofitable cause. \n\nAs for historical context, yes global warming and cooling has happened in the past. But the Earth being a simple 10°F cooler was a considered an ice age and if you're wondering if humans would enjoy that go watch the Ice Age movie series maybe it will help you visualize the climate lol.

There is really no evidence that CO2 is causing catastrophic or even harmful climate change. It was warmer during the medieval warm period. The rate of warming today is not unusual. When we started taking instrumental temperature measurements 150 years ago this was during the coldest time in the last 8000 years when glaciers were at their maximum extent since the ice age. Solar cycles and climate are closely correlated. Like REALLY well correlated. CO2 is beneficial for plants and the world has actually greened in the last 100 years. It is a complete fools errand to try removing beneficial CO2 from the air. More CO2 is a good thing. Agriculture has become more productive due to rising levels of CO2.

{'comment': 'Did Greta Thunberg even support Harris? Thunberg is Pro-Palestine and an environmental activist to the extreme. She would not have liked anyone put forward. She hates Trump obviously, but when you’re that off the deep end into climate activism and spend your time like she does, getting arrested for breaching the peace in the UK (which, let’s be honest…Isn’t hard to accomplish…) you’re not going to care about America’s politics. Harris was pro-fracking which Thunberg probably hates too. She lost a ton of followers being Pro-Palestine, Most of these Pro-Palestine activists are insane and have no idea what they’re even supporting so they need to all be ignored and shoved into the box of irrelevance anyways.

{'comment': 'Now, among the children of the “I don’t need no man” segment of the black American community, there is indeed an educational crisis. Sadly, lowering the standards isn’t the answer. \n\nThe beginning of the answer is a repeal of family-killing , LBJ-era measures like Title IV-D (which is a welfare recovery program thatcompensates the states for every dollar of child support they collect). This program creates a clear conflict of interest where juicy federal dollars come before the best interests of the child and intact families.\n\nRepublican politicians were loathe to touch this for fear of losing the female vote. The recent election cycle busted that right open, so anyone who would have been alienated is already alienated.\n\nRemember..prior to LBJ and the DNC’s so-called “Great Society Reforms”, black American families were among the highest in terms of intact, 2-parent families. Black wealth was on an upward trajectory as was achievement. The Democrats made policies that literally paid black women to have no fathers in the home. They did this for votes, which is beyond criminal. Anyone unfamiliar should do a YouTube search for the “Moynihan Report” to see the devastating effects of LBJ’s policies. The demographic that previously had over 87% of intact families now has 87% broken homes. Again, this is akin to genocide and is a prime reason for poor educational outcomes.\n\nWhen Kamala and the DNC realized how badly they were hemorrhaging black male votes, they came up with a last-minute “empowerment plan.” The plan? Marijuana and more loans to keep them chained to their government. Basically “Hey you losers…here’s some reefer!”\n\nAs Conservatives? We should do our part to reverse this and help black Americans rebuild the family by removing the insidious Democrat policies that destroyed it.', 'created': '2024-11-18 18:25:32', 'submission_id': '1gt0dln'}
{'comment': "At the dawn of the 20th century, Republicans were dominate in the country, and the Democrats mostly only existed as an opposition party. Northern Republicans favored business and Southern Republicans favored civil right, so early-1900-Democrats were against both of these.\n\nEarly in the 20th century, there was a split in Republican ideology: Theodore Roosevelt continued to favor more progressive policies (labor laws protecting women and children; wilderness conservation; pro-union), while William Taft favored more conservative policies (high tariffs to help domestic production; against labor-laws; for the popular election of judges).\n\nThat ideological divide let the Democrat Woodrow Wilson get elected for two terms as president, but otherwise the first third of the 20th century was all Republicans presidents running on pro-business platforms, and business was booming and Republicans got much of the credit.\n\nThen when the stock market crashed in 1929, Republicans got most of the blame, allowing Democrat FDR to win office. Franklin Roosevelt had new ideas on how the Democratic party should work, which allowed the Democratic Party to reinvent itself as the New-Deal party and that let the Dems dominate for the next 30 years, with Republicans as the opposition party.\n\nMessiness surrounding the civil rights movement gave both parties a chance to reinvent themselves, but I'd argue that Republicans didn't develop a national identity again until Ronald Reagan. He built a coalition of business and religious leaders that proved very popular, and that gave birth to organization like the Heritage Foundation and the Federalist Society that still have influence today.", 'created': '2024-11-17 17:02:30', 'submission_id': '1gt0dln'}

They don\'t necessarily relish warfare, but that "interventionist foreign policy" will often lead to wars, which is why people call them "war hawks".

They had a big influence on congressional elections circa 2008-2016, especially Republican wins in 2010.\n\nNeocons and Tea Partiers ran candidates in 2016, as did more traditional republicans, but Trump emerged as the nominee (other people in this group will do a better job of explaining why than me).', 'created': '2024-11-17 21:33:12', 'submission_id': '1gt0dln'}

But he acted on impulse and emotion. Huge mistake, one he’s still paying for.\n\nEven his staunch supporters like Ben Shapiro and Megyn Kelly will say they disagreed with how Trump handled 2020 and Jan 6th. \n\nIt’s not outlandish for liberals, casual voters, those who aren’t MAGA, and those who don’t take the time to dig through all the layers of media lies to have a genuine worry that Trump is an authoritarian who won’t accept election results.\n\nI like Trump, I voted for him, but he made his bed with that one.

{'comment': "This is one of the first times I agreed with a republican talking point.\n\nDemocrats are very elitist and tend to act like they are better than others because of their intelligence or actions, etc.\n\nUnfortunately, Trump's party while it may not have the same issues has its own issues.\n\nIt's unfortunate that the Republican party has become a cult that follows trump (BTW previously a Democrat) that has dropped their core values to simply get into office.\n\nBoth parties are disconnected from reality.  \n\nI can't handle the disrespect of Trump's party, lack of ethics, and the flat out lies.\n\nI can't handle the democratic party lack of ethics, elitism, out of touch with society.\n\nThe entire reason a country is strong is because of its unity,  no matter your beliefs as long as they align with the group/country it makes that country stronger.   Having a massive split preventing the ability to work together that we currently have only paralyzes the country from doing anything.\n\n\nHistorically the only time a split in culture is resolved is with a civil war and new countries created.\n\nNo matter your beliefs, our country is literally forever stuck voting on abortion.  It CAN NOT be solved, instead of voting on issues that actually effect our lives, we are stuck voting on a stupid issue that doesn't effect 99.9999% of us.\n\nThink about how rare an abortion is.  Yet people will vote on that single issue.  (Abortion is a example there are a few other big examples).  Republicans and Democrats are both guilty of this, although Republicans started it.  They all make it sound like we have to voted based on this issue.\n\nI can go on forever but voting on the issues that have no resolution, simply paralyzes our country, how often has our government been shutdown because nobody can agree.  Or think about how often a party just cock blocks a bill or pick for a position just to prevent the government from functioning.\n\n\nHalf the population is men where abortion will never apply, and most women won't ever need an abortion.  Why does it even matter if it's legal or illegal it doesn't effect you ever.\n\n\nAnd if u wanna protect life, guys I'm sorry to tell you this but we are constantly sending people off to war, executing prisoners and killing animals for food.  Life sucks and death is a part of life infact without death we can't have life.   \n\nbtw life doesn't start at conception, life started 2-5 billion years ago and has never stopped.  Life doesn't start like a light switch.  It's always going.  \n\nI'm getting way off topic but both parties piss me off.  Our country is in a downhill spiral and I understand many people voted for trump because they wanted change.  But his changes are not going to make anything better.", 'created': '2024-11-16 19:26:21', 'submission_id': '1gsl85z'}

{'comment': 'In 2021 California generated $488M of revenue and received $143M in federal grants, which would rank California as the 9th most contributory state to federal funds. This has been a consistent trend for years now. I\'m not really sure where this narrative that FINANCIALLY California is a failed state came from. The state prints money, that doesn\'t mean they SPEND it right. But California rakes cash in. \n\nIn 2024, approximately 32% of California\'s state revenue was from federal funding, ranking at about #40 in the nation. States actually propped up by the federal government are:\n\n\n\nLouisiana - 52% (!!) of state revenue provided by federal government\n\nAlaska - 50% of state revenue provided by federal government \n\nArizona - 47% of state revenue provided by federal government\n\nMississippi - 47% of state revenue provided by federal government\n\nMissouri - 45% of state revenue provided by the federal government \n\n\n\nIf government efficiency is going to actually happen, we all need to collectively open our eyes and read the numbers. It\'s ok to not like California, it\'s not ok to dislike facts. What the hell is happening in the states I listed that causes them to need HALF their budget from the federal government?

{'comment': "They are only that party when they like the results. Anyone who truly believes they accept election results is delusional. The problem here is that the Dems like to have elections be a little loose around the edges because they usually do well manipulating the results in their favor. Gore vs Bush was a problem because no matter which way they recounted, they kept finding that Bush won. Still, they thought if only they could get the courts to accept the right invalid ballots, then they could surely win, but the Supreme Court finally shut that down.\n\nWe have a broken election system that needs fixing. This is all so absurd and I wish the Dems would get onboard with fixing it, but they like it this way. I'm thankful that Republicans finally had an army of attorneys on election day, as Dems always have, to make sure that bad actors are shutdown as quickly as possible.

Went from just repeating a news cycle (which was losing ratings) to leaning left commentary (made it worse).

They may have the professional knowledge to do the job. But they let their opinions and egos steer the network’s narrative.\n\nThat’s where they went wrong. For cable news I have more respect for Newsnation. At least they try to maintain a neutrality of sorts.

{'comment': 'But he was given a chance. And half the country hated him. Republicans didn’t even initially want him in the 2016 primaries but his charisma carried him through. Hell even a ton of republicans don’t like him now. Looking at voter turnout he had less votes than last time. And when you consider there was a shift of blues turning red that means he lost a lot of original reds. Several big time long term republicans even turned on him and endorsed Kamala. The only reason he won was because Kamala was a terrible choice forced in by the DNC. She wasn’t even a great choice as VP to Biden. They only won last time because Biden had popularity from Obama and he was (anyone but Trump). \n\nI do agree the hitler crap needs to stop. Also both parties need to stop crying fascist, Russian puppet, day one impeachments and so on. I personally think Trump was a terrible pick and his cabinet of who’s popular atm rather than who’s the best in their field is almost as bad as his last term of hiring his family into high power positions. But I’ll be happy to be wrong. Imo things are on the upswing the past 1-2 years and I hope it continues through Trumps term.

{'comment': 'I don’t think the goal should be to make every state red or blue as that implies everyone should think the exact same. Some people just don’t have the same values as the Republican Party, which is a good thing if we want to learn to appreciate nuance. The main focus should be to find a middle ground so that everyone’s needs are being met somehow, not to sway everyone to one side of the aisle. Even if that were the intent, it would be impossible. With this red wave, I sincerely hope the needs of all Americans are considered, and not solely those with conservative values. There’s no right or wrong, just different. I’m not a liberal saying this, my family is almost entirely conservative with myself being the only one who actually appreciates both sides enough to not even identify entirely with either. Once being a unit becomes a priority to politicians, we will then see progress. For as long as this is a race to complete dominance, everyone loses. These politicians have weird priorities.

{'comment': "Eh there are a lot of things stated in that.  It would take me forever to look into each one.\n\nApples have aresnic in them that doesn't mean they will kill you.\n\nBut my point is we have a FDA in order to perform investigations into these things,  having a person who has political interests and his own opinions on what's bad doesn't make things safe.\n\nYou need independent studies that test these things and are constantly monitoring foods/drugs in order to figure these things out.\n\nHaving ANY political involvement prevents this from happening, remember he is a politician who wants to be elected, he is not the scientist performing the studies he can only parrot information he thinks will win him support.\n\nI'm not saying he's right or wrong.  But when you have someone that has something to gain involved in deciding what's is safe or not it becomes a huge problem.\n\nJust because something is dangerous sounding or can cause cancer in high doses, or is a poison does not make it dangerous.  You gotta remember often times when testing in rats they will use 10000 times the dose before they become dangerous.  \n\n\nMany many many things become dangerous in high amounts, but when used correctly are safe.\n\n\nI'm not saying these things are not dangerous and they very well might be, but before the FDA they had cocaine and heroin in everything,  they had lead in almost everything.   The average life span was like 30-40, we have made huge progress in this day and age but that's because we used scientific analysis and non-bias testing to get here.  We can't have a person who has already made a decision about something running or a part of the agencies.\n\nWe need someone who will look at actually scientific studies or even perform them to get to the bottom of it.\n\nCEOs and politicians have interests in the out come so will view data in a bias view.\n\nI hope that clarifies my point.", 'created': '2024-11-18 17:05:22', 'submission_id': '1grhg6q'}

So yes prices can absolutely come down including  gas prices, they have before many times! But nice try though you tried! Turns out when you pass two large spending bills in an overheated economy demand starts to outstrip supply and prices start to increase.

You have every right to your opinion even if your opinion is wrong. \n\n\nIt must be very difficult waking up on the morning of November 6th and realizing that the vast majority of America doesn’t think like you do. That the nation has rejected far-left socialist, Marxist and communist ideologies. Rejected radical progressivism and unchecked liberalism. That the media lied to you for over a decade and convinced you that “orange man bad”. \n\n\nBut this election proved that America isn’t falling for the propaganda, lies, gaslighting, projection, anymore. This 2024 victory was bigger than 2016. The media made it seem like the Left are the majority when in fact they are the small fringe minority. The media was protecting the corrupt system that the democrats are a part of. The small fringe minority is typically the actual cult. Not the vast majority of a nation. \n\n\nYou probably fell for all of the hoaxes, lies and propaganda because you likely get your news from the fake news. CNN, MSNBC, Yahoo News, Newsweek, AP, Reuters, MSN, The Hill, The Atlantic, The Guardian, The NY Times, The Washington Post. It’s all fake news pushing the same propaganda. They get their marching orders from the White House, US State Department and corrupt elements within the IC. Government influence Ops to control the way you think and vote. It’s very powerful stuff. \n\n\nI just don’t see how a Democrat could possibly win a national election for at least the next 12 years. With Democrat voter registrations at a 15 year low, the Democrat party is going extinct. Or at least becoming irrelevant.

{'comment': 'I don’t think DeSantis will wait that long to announce a Senator. The confirmation hearings will happen after Inauguration Day which is also after the new senate is confirmed, right? He’ll have to appoint someone before then. \n\nSide note: my gut tells me that DeSantis might nominate himself for Senate. That will allow his lieutenant governor to take over now and then still win two more elections so she would be able to serve 10 years. She’s a Cuban American very similar to Rubio, and she’s already represented Miami Dade county. So I feel as though she would not have any trouble with elections. Then, that gives DeSantis a job after his term limits are up and continues a job for him if he doesn’t win the presidency in 2028. \n\nAnd to your question about Gaetz specifically. Let’s assume for these purposes he didn’t sex traffic anyone, use drugs, or share inappropriate images on the House floor all like he was accused of. I personally would like my representative to not be accused of that many different issues, but I understand sometimes accusations happen whether they are true or not.\n\nHe pledged to serve three terms because he said he believes in term limits and even co-sponsored a resolution to the House about 3 terms for House representatives. Yet, he was just elected to his fifth term. Did he decide that he actually did not want term limits? Did he decide that three years was not enough for a House representative? We will never know because he never comes down here unless it’s to campaign for himself or someone else.\n\nHe has never debated anyone running against him\nIn the primaries or general election. Why? Great question. I’d love to know the answer to. Again, could be arrogance because he knows he’s going to get reelected in our area? Possibly. Other people in our area deserve to hear from him, hear his views compared to somebody else, and why he’s the best choice for the role. Especially in the primaries. What separates himself from the other Republican candidates?\n\nThe whole ouster of Kevin McCarthy didn’t sit right with me. He single handily made House Republicans look like idiots. If you do not agree with committeeships or House rules, have discussions. Try to come up with agreements. And if nothing comes of it, you only have to wait two years before the speaker can change and then you can make your voice heard and known before he is granted the role. My theory? He just wanted to say that he has been the only person to help oust the house speaker. Again, contributes to his arrogance. am I wrong? Possibly. But again, he never comes down here to talk to the people for us to know what exactly his process was. Would’ve loved to hear that in a debate format.\n\nOn December 19, 2017, Gaetz was the ONLY representative to vote against the Combating Human Trafficking in Commercial Vehicles Act. The vote was 418-1. He’s the 1. He also voted against the Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act in 2018. The vote count was 388–25. In 2022, he also voted against Frederick Douglass Trafficking Victims Prevention and Protection Reauthorization Act, which passed 401–20. Which I understand if you have firm belief that these are not good bills, you have a right as a representative to vote against them. But if you have sex trafficking allegations against you, voting against all these measures is not a good look.\n\nI have three pretty strong Republican friends that I talk to on a daily basis about politics. Two of which are pretty MAGA heavy. Even they both agree that they don’t like Gaetz as a person, but they keep voting for him because they like his politics. Wow that’s a very small sample size of our area, I feel like that’s probably how much Republicans think. Nobody in this area really likes him. They just keep voting for him because we want to ensure that our area stays red.', 'created': '2024-11-14 12:56:27', 'submission_id': '1gqni1p'}

{'comment': "You forgot: to take care of their elders. I work in the elderly housing and you would be surprised at how many homes run on illegal labor. When I have to compete with the other business the same question comes up: why do you charge so much? It is because I abide by labor laws. I barely am able to pay for the mortgage after paying for employment legally. So much so the only payout for me is the payment of selling the property. I was misled when I was told that the elderly housing is a lucrative business, it is only lucrative if you run on illegal labor and assisted with someone that works in the discharge center that can give biased direction to the family as to where to place their elderly with needs (which is also illegal, but happens more times than not). \n\nUnrelated, to the post but an additional Tid bit, what the agents in this industry do is legal but it will likely make you sick. They charge 100% 1st months rent or more (like a place for mom) directly to the facility providing the service. Even though the extent of the work provided is texting the facility to schedule an appointment and making sure to show the clients 3 homes(there's a free government website that lost these places and how well they perform). All of the admission paperwork and testing is done by the facility. That looks like $5,000-10,000 paycheck from the facility to the agents. If you ever find yourself needing care for your elderly please do not use an agent or go to a place with illegal labor. If you do both you will likely pay the same as if you went to a place with illegal labor and found it through agent.\nP. S. There is a government aid program from Mastercareplan.com through Medicaid. The agents hate this program because they are not allowed to charge their ridiculous finders fees and most will never even mention it.", 'created': '2024-11-13 19:58:57', 'submission_id': '1gqgjla'}

That's why black people are still 13% of the population despite having many more children than whites.

But here\'s this new guy who wants to secure the border after being put in charge of securing the border. Make it make sense."\n\nLeftists have lost it lmao. AOC in this scenario is an awful person who thrives off people who are in bad environments. For those who aren\'t in NYC let me give you a synopsis.\n\nEssentially, she tries to maintain her neighrborhoods who vote for her by destroying opportunities for other neighrbodhoods which harbor middle class people or individuals who have helped their local area/zipcodes go up in value. She does this by banning or stopping projects which promise a large number of jobs and tax dollars for the city like Amazon. \n\nHer reasoning is always she wants to protect her people from being displaced. But what she doesn\'t say loud is the fact that she wants to perpetually keep her constituents in poor conditions because if they have their own wit and finance to stand on, then she has no job. Her job isn\'t to maintain the level of income and harbor a large amount of transitioning illegal migrants, it is the serve her constituents and provide opportunities working with the city. \n\nDuring her time she has done absolutely nothing of substance, no community outreach, no programs for her low income constituency to achieve higher education, no lessening of crime under her. All she has done is stopped areas from moving up in the income bracket to ensure her constituents remain in dingy, illegal migrant infested and crime ridden neighborhoods because the very next election cycle she will promise the same things which is "I won\'t abandon you". My question is, what happens when she is gone? This people will be displaced harder than ever, more than that completely underprepared because they were abandoned by their leader who refused to provide them any help to climb the financial ladder of our society. All because she wanted to cyclically farm votes. She has made her constituents abandon the American dream and sold them a version of salvation she is offering while forsakening the working class nearby. \n\nShe is a disease which infects my city, and there are many more like her. The sooner we get her out the better we will be and we will enable these low income neighborhoods to climb the income ladder and find their own properties to live in, not income assisted housing or projects which are both proved by neumerous studies to only keep low income people in low income brackets because they fear being kicked out and their kids are surrounded by gang violence which inevitibly influences many. \n\nWe will fix this city in time, and if we don\'t then sh*t I don\'t plan to stick around and find out if things get any worse 💀👍', 'created': '2024-11-14 05:51:58', 'submission_id': '1gqfo9o'}

People do not think that (at least sensible people) and I believe that is a convenient exaggeration. She’s not a good spokesperson here, so I don’t blame you for being dumbfounded by her remarks. There are people who can better articulate the sentiment, which is not to vilify any demographic, but to acknowledge that there is a dominant demographic, and due to this, many social structures in our society have used white male formatting as the standard. Many people recognize this and would appreciate more nuance and a displacement of that standard to afford other demographics more growing power. \n\nNow, I agree that my response lacks depth. I wasn’t planning to go into depth initially because I wasn’t sure how you’d respond. But I will say that, yes, there were many dynamics of the time. But it is true that American land was rightfully preoccupied. Before the arrival of Europeans, including the English, North America was home to a vast number of Indigenous nations with their own governments, cultures, economies, and ways of life. Colonization disrupted and, in many cases, attempted to destroy these societies through war, disease, and forced assimilation. English colonists, along with other European powers, pursued a policy of settler colonialism, in which they claimed land, established permanent settlements, and sought to displace or eliminate Indigenous populations. European powers, including England, justified their claims to land in the Americas through legal and religious doctrines such as the “Doctrine of Discovery,” which allowed Christian nations to claim lands “discovered” by their explorers. This doctrine dismissed the sovereignty of non-Christian peoples, leading to land seizures and disregard for Indigenous ownership. This is particularly personal for me because I was raised in a state where there were a lot of reservations. I understand you can’t rewrite the past but having perspective can afford us understanding. This may have been an honorable and legal acquisition on the part of settlers but not on the part of those who had been completely disregarded at the time and still are today.', 'created': '2024-11-13 18:21:52', 'submission_id': '1gqd2yk'}

{'comment': 'I appreciate your perspective and your thoughtful reply.  You are definitely not far off on your take on the circumstances of the time.  I also agree that in hindsight, they/we could have handled things differently.  I don’t want to go too deep with my thoughts on that.  My main issue is that I will continue to push back on people who push the “White Christian Male “Patriarchy” Colonialism = Evil (whatever)” narrative and try to claim some moral high ground to vilify where we are today based on what happened 500 years ago.  Certainly context and perspective matters and it gets us nowhere being the kind of person that is willing to ignore context, etc. to push that narrative.  I know you pointed out that it may only be a few that share those extreme views, but as you know, a small rudder can steer a huge ship, and that is what is happening today.', 'created': '2024-11-13 18:35:34', 'submission_id': '1gqd2yk'}
{'comment': 'Yeah, one bad apple ruins the whole batch. I completely agree. It is unfortunate that there are people who go out of their way to spout hateful nonsense which ultimately causes movements with genuine intentions to lose credibility. I deeply despise that. No one today is responsible for what happened so long ago, but I will say that I receive a lot of push back (and I assume this is where the downvotes are coming from) when I talk about how history has lingering effects, especially when the actions that took place were so severe. While I understand that vilifying anyone today for such things is useless, it’s important that we recognize that time is fleeting but it’s also permanent. What happened some 500 years ago contributed and likely still contributes to the society we live in today. For example, you should feel empowered and righteous in celebrating your ancestry, but you can only imagine how indigenous people feel having lost so much of their ancestry to tragedy. Thus, their population is still impacted today.\n\nI think the main issue is that, as long as there are people who still remember the past, it’s going to be hard to move forward without some form resentment toward one thing or another. I think the vilification of White males isn’t warranted and only further divides us. It also fosters resentment amongst every demographic for absolutely any reason that is available. We can recognize that our society has evolved, but it has evolved within a particular context. This nation started with a primary demographic and it’s going to be that way for a long time. Thankfully, time has afforded us perspective and we’ve found new ways to adapt to a society that is more suitable for other classes of people. This is modern America. But now, the new task will be to figure out how we can build a society that can express ideas without burning bridges in the process.

{'comment': 'Well said my friend and I agree with your assessment/opinion.  History definitely affects the past, good or bad.  Yes, we need to examine the past and commit to not repeating mistakes, etc.  I’m not one to say “Move on already” in a way that glosses over our countries atrocities in the past, but we have to move forward together.  There are people that continue to divide and use the past as an excuse to bully and vilify our country and I am having none of it.  I will push back on “white privilege” and “Indigenous Peoples Day”, Reparations, etc.  Either find a way to move forward in a way that is mindful of the past, but in a way that unites us as Americans or I don’t want to hear it.

{'comment': 'Yeah, with all due respect, I think that sometimes the message can be misinterpreted as having bad faith. White privilege is definitely a thing and there’s lots of research and data that can cite that. It’s not an excuse to be rude to people, but if we don’t recognize that it exists we can’t move forward. I’ve received lots of push back on that but I’ve even seen it evidenced in my own family who is mixed. My uncle is white and has talked about multiple occasions where he’s received completely different treatment than my aunt (African American). This is all a consequence of slavery and segregation where white men/women were made to be the standard and it unfortunately takes a really long time for society to assimilate to a more acceptable structure that does not inherently create a hierarchical model of value in human beings. So yes we must move forward somehow but once everybody can come to the consensus that such things do exist, first, then we can. But there are people who deny that certain social structures have ever existed, though history has culminated them, evidently. No one needs to feel ashamed of themselves for what their ancestors did, but we do have to be able to say that something was morally wrong and then move forward as a unit. \n\nI’m not sure what you meant about the indigenous people’s day. I’m not sure exactly how that in itself is divisive. It is just a holiday that commemorates the indigenous peoples of America. They should feel appreciated, I believe, ahah.', 'created': '2024-11-14 18:46:00', 'submission_id': '1gqd2yk'}

We had all colors of skin working next to one another.

{'comment': 'It was a book ( later made into a TV series which is on Hulu now ) about a group of over zealous religious citizens taking over America, usurpring the government and turning it into their own factions of land. The government officials in this world are men, and women can\'t get pregnant anymore in this dystopian fantasy. So the women known to have given birth before, are taken as a type of slave called a "handmaid" and trained in an internment camp to basically be submissive, only speak when spoken to, to let the powerful men in charge have sex with them while their wives watch, to impregnate them so the wives can take the baby and adopt it for themselves. It\'s basically a glorified rape fantasy written by a uber feminist canadian author. Of course, in her deranged sci-fi fantasy, canada is the place of freedom where the handmaids can escape to safety. The irony is, in real life, canada is nowhere near as free as America is.', 'created': '2024-11-13 06:05:14', 'submission_id': '1gpvdm6'}

My brain would explode from the juxtaposition of trying to believe a man can be a woman and visa versa. I know that some with ADHD can show a wide variety of symptoms. I have inattentive type, or what used to be called "ADD". Basically I get distracted by something related to my autistic interests, to the point where it can put my life in danger.

{'comment': "Autism and adhd certainly make an interesting mix of thought processes. I get hyperfixated on some things at times, but other times have real trouble keeping a though in my head.

As i said before, I'm told I'm fairly low on the spectrum, but even so, without my wife i would have some real trouble functioning. Research has shown that autism in particular is one predisposition for body dysphoria, although I'm kind of with you on the subject, the dichotomy blows my mind. I think the affirmation is possibly part of the issue. It's a crude example but my uncle suffered a psychotic break, and went through a phase of thinking his radiators were talking to him, can you imagine if we had affirmed that?

{'comment': 'I can totally relate! Both my mother and my brother who I’ve been estranged from for going on 25 years now, both have drug addiction induced schizophrenia and so does one of my uncles. I’ve heard it all, from “I own Microsoft” to “Mickey mouse is my banker” lol and no we do not affirm those delusions. At some point I attempted to just let them say whatever crazy bizarre thing they believed and would engage in the conversation with them to keep the peace if it was a situation where I felt like if I didn’t respond in some way they would feel threatened and become violent, especially in the case of my brother. I come from an incredibly dysfunctional family, but my dad is alright and he keeps to himself, like me. I’m more significantly autistic and am diagnosed as “level 2”… I reach milestones in life later than most but otherwise I’m ok, I struggle with communication a lot though.\xa0\xa0\n\n\n\xa0\xa0\xa0I really do worry about all the young people who are vulnerable with developing minds and who may be autistic and are being told they’re something they’re not, exploited rather than given the care and support they need to eradicate the delusional thoughts. Kids are easily influenced by the internet, peer groups and celebrities/icons they like. So it’s important that their parents are monitoring who and what they have access to, not in a controlling abusive way, but in a parental loving way. Too many parents just don’t care or don’t see what the big deal is. If I had a child who told me their best friend suddenly wanted to swap genders, I’d probably suspect their home life is full of neglect and have to cut the friendship off to protect my own child from being influenced by dysfunction. It’s a hard choice that too many parents aren’t willing to make, but many are and their kids go on to develop healthy and have firm boundaries. I’d also find it inappropriate for my child to be around peers who are obsessed with sex and gender. It’s kinda creepy. But I would wish those kids well and hope they seek therapy for the trauma they have experienced that is causing them to disassociate from their own bodies.

{'comment': 'It is sad. The Democratic Party is using mass media to manipulate people just like Hitler manipulated his own people to come to accept the annihilation of the Jewish population in concentration camps. The left always accuses the other party of what they’re doing themselves.\n\nThey separated people into race and gender, which is what Hitler did with the “aryan race” and the “jews”. The Democratic Party also weaponized the justice department against their political opponent to try to imprison him. They tried to assassinate Trump. They tried to erase history by removing monuments all over the US. They also told the entire country that if they don’t vote for them, that they’re nazis. \n\nThe Democratic Party also infiltrated the department of education and began to indoctrinate children. They told children that they had no identity. They also control most university campuses, where they continue to indoctrinate young adults. They’re pro-war, and they blatantly sided with the Palestinians because they apparently hate the Jews.\n\nFunny how they claim to be the party of “unity” and “tolerance” and they dare call themselves the DEMOCRATIC party. Also remember, the democrats created the Ku Klux Klan, very likely stole the 2020 election and installed Kamala Harris, she was never voted in a primary. They are also communists.

And JD Vance very Cooley said, “do you hear yourself, Linda? Only a handful of apartment complexes in Aurora, Colorado.

What he said about Haley and Pompeo is exactly how he should act.  And it\'s how his supporters.   This insistent pound of flesh on anyone who isn\'t a populist is stupid.  We are a big tent party.   There will be "liberal" republicans, and "non-maga" republicans, and traditional conservative republicans, and maga republicans.  \n\nThey all need to get along, because somehow someway they\'re all elected.  So they represent SOMEONE.  (More than someone, their constituency).  \n\nIn 2024, neocons are a myth.   Maybe in 2004 it was a thing, but not in 2024.  And if you think support for Ukraine is a neoconservative thing, you\'re an idiot that does not understand geopolitics.   The US has a longstanding tradition of opposing tyranny and invasions, it has a longstanding tradition of defending its interests abroad since Tripoli...that\'s not an endorsement of the second Iraq war, but it\'s certainly not an endorsement of isolationism either.  \n\nThere needs to be a Thermidorean Reaction in the GOP, that accommodates both the traditional strong foreign policy of Teddy Roosevelt, Eisenhower, and Ronald Reagan, and the populist movement.   \n\nRINOs are a myth.   And if you call someone who has been a republican for 50 years a RINO or neo-con, you\'re the RINO.   \n\nThere will never, ever be a party that perfectly aligns with your ideology or emotions.  Nor should they be.  \n\nWhen people on social media engage in ideological purity tests, whether progressive or populist, I make the quote reasonable assumption:\n\nThey ain\'t ever been married.  \n\nThey ain\'t ever managed anything, that requires consolidating a dozen different opinions into a working solution.  \n\nThey\'re in a basement somewhere, pushing their idealism to the fullest because they\'ve never had to negotiate or *trade* (one of the fundamental components of the free market, and thus conservatism, and thus the GOP) to get anything done.   \n\nLife is about collaboration and compromise for the greater good.

After all the goal is to get a MAJORITY of representatives. \n\nThe question is therefore not if the USA is democracy but what kind of democracy it wants to be. \n\nYou brought up civil rights. Protecting people. \nIn practice your systems means that one side can oppose its will on the others even if more people disagree than agree with that system. \nThat’s a fact. \n\nI don’t think it’s comforting to know that every single thing I said in my original comment is true, that a majority of Americans is politically treated with disregard by both sides far too often, that small states have disproportionate power which while historically sound has today a bitter aftertaste for many millions of people or that elections are now more about gaining a majority of representatives than about gaining a majority of voters aka convincing people instead of winning maps, winning voices instead of seats. \n\nI don’t know how you judge systems or government but one way I do it is fairness and the election system is unfair to most US-citizens and it effectively increases division because instead of having to find compromise the winner takes all even if in reality it’s a decision of 50.5% over 47.9% or vice versa as in 2020 where dozens of millions of Americans didn’t want Biden. \n\nThis "genius idea" is no longer working right. It has even helped to push the USA to a place where winning an election results in gleeful cheering or shocked disappointment, where when you frequent different spaces the people on both sides who are committed have one thing in common, their true biggest enemy is the other side and while unfortunately much of the rest of the entire free world is heading down similar paths, the USA leads the charge for a number of reasons.\n\nWhere do you think this will all lead in a couple decades?

{'comment': 'It\'s annoying that I have to defend democrats here, but the difference is between randos on social media claiming it and the sitting president, members of congress, and mainstay news figures claiming it and running with it for years. \n\nOn top of that, the claims themselves are different. Trump claimed voter fraud, i.e., mass fraudulent votes rigging the election from a top-down perspective (while he was president). Hillary claimed in 2016 that Russia basically ran a covert ad campaign to lie to Americans and convince them to vote for Trump. Gore claimed that SCOTUS voted against him unfairly in a recount that he would\'ve won otherwise and... also, butterfly ballots were disfavorable but not necessarily intentional. Hillary conceded the next day, Gore didn\'t press beyond the SCOTUS ruling, Trump still won\'t admit he lost and drove his discontent to the Capitol on Jan 6 2021.\n\nIf you can\'t see the difference here, idk what you\'re looking at. Democrats didn\'t claim it was "rigged" in past years the same way you\'re implying in this comment.\n\nThat being said, any Democrats claiming an issue with this election need to get their shit together. Just as much as Trump needed to when he was claiming election fraud all election night until he was sure that he won. This shit is annoying as fuck and not based in reality at all.\n\nIt would be nice if our country could get its shit together and stop believing make-believe bullshit to cope with other people thinking different things than us holy shit.', 'created': '2024-11-11 06:50:33', 'submission_id': '1goj69a'}

If you think those other candidates that don't suck off Trump 24/7 aren't conservatives, then all conservative means is that you're conservative about doing anything with your career beyond sucking off Trump. I like to think conservatism, and by extension, the Republican Party, stand for a little more than that.\n\nThat being said, Jan 6 is *mostly* ceremonial, but that doesn't mean that nothing important happens or anything. That's why interrupting it, like only Trump and his followers have ever done since the ECA passed, is a really big deal! \n\nThere's no reason at all to believe Democrats will challenge the Electoral votes of the states like Trump did. States have a right to choose their own electors. At best, Democrats will likely hope that these electors will not be faithful. It didn't impact anything in 2016 when we had more faithless electors than almost ever before, and it probably won't make a difference now. After the electors elect Trump, it will get certified like normal on Jan 6 like it has on every election since the ECA except the one where Trump lost.\n\nIf I'm wrong, I'm committed to changing my outlook on beurocracy.

It got immediately removed by mods because it was “toxic”.\n\nMy family are stanch democrats (except for my dad) my stepmom doesn’t know. She was saying anyone who votes for Trump is an idiot and if she found out that my dad voted for him she would divorce him. Basically any time someone who supported Kamala would press the subject, it was always by bullying. Couldn’t find a handful of solid arguments to have a two way conversation. I never really considered myself a republican, I’ve personally always voted third party (wasted my vote whatever, it’s my vote) I’d bring up my grievances about the lady, these people are mad because I (as a woman) should want a female in the Oval Office “it’s our turn” that was the argument made when I wouldn’t vote for Hillary. That’s weak. \n\nMy take on the whole thing is, I make a little more than what I did in 2016, but now I’m struggling.

Add the fact that she had the worse VP ratings in recent history and your still blinded by how your party did you dirty\n\nI’m center to right politically and let me tell you that if Dems weren’t so corrupt and down this far left path that we’ve never seen before then RFK would of been running and I believe would of beaten Trump, same with Tulsi. They fumbled the bag on two amazing candidates just because they didn’t wanna join in on their far left woke BS. Hopefully this landslide teaches Dems a lesson and brings them back on track to the traditional Democratic party that once was\n\nTulsi Gabbard will be the first female president and put Dems in their place.

{'comment': "What is true is that in cases of rape and life to the mother there is broad public support for abortion, but in other cases there is not. So state governments like Texas, Florida and so on have attempted to make that the exemption. \n\nBut in practice they have run into issues, which are going to mount and cause public anger unless resolved. \n\nThose issues are:\n1) Sepsis and infections that effectively make the fetus non viable, make women infertile, and result in severe cases in death if left untreated.\n2) Slow speed of government bureaucracy vs medical need for near instant answers. A pregnancy can become a threat to the life of a mother in literally minutes, so an hour wait for a decision could mean infertility or death for the mother. \n3) The medical insurance and health industry putting profit over the life of the mother and the child, and literally not bothering to put in the effort to save either. \n\nI think the problem of the debate, whether you are pro life or pro choice is that laws on abortion are a wishlist, and they don't fix the real ethical and more issues that actually require persuasion of everyone involved and medical advances to increase the chances of survival for the mother and child.\n\nLike in a perfect world, you wouldn't need any laws on abortion. In that world if someone became pregnant, and couldn't take care of the baby, then society would take it on and there frankly wouldn't need to be abortions.\n\nBut right now, despite all the medical advances, we have no means to transfer a fetus to an artificial womb, and unfortunately we are unable to save the mother without an abortion. \n\nThe extreme side of the debate, seems to argue the fatalist moral position that it is god's will if the mother or fetus dies, or that we should have no restriction on abortion whatsoever. While some may believe these things, most Americans take abortion as something terrible, but necessary to protect the life of the mother if medical issues happen.", 'created': '2024-11-10 19:52:50', 'submission_id': '1go55rx'}

The majority of women cite their reasoning as being that they have financial constraints or other life focuses- caring for other dependents, finishing schooling so they can provide better for any child, factors that lead them to believe they will be a single mother. For me personally, those are not inconsequential reasons that show the callousness of women, but a responsibility to all current and future lives they are connected to. https://www.guttmacher.org/journals/psrh/2005/reasons-us-women-have-abortions-quantitative-and-qualitative-perspectives .

{'comment': 'So I did a little digging and found [this](https://www.asc.upenn.edu/news-events/news/public-media-can-improve-our-flawed-democracy).\n\nIt turns out they were right, public funded media is actually very common in democracies, and we are the outliers.\n\nFrom the article:\n\n"Where is the U.S. positioned in terms of democratic health and public media funding, as compared to other countries?\n\nVP: According to The Economist’s Democracy Index, the U.S. is now considered to be a “flawed democracy”. In terms of its public media funding, it is almost literally off the chart for how little it allocates towards its public media compared to other democracies around the planet. It comes out to .002 percent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP). At $465 million dollars, 2020 federal funding of U.S. public media amounted to just $1.40 per capita. Meanwhile, countries such as the UK, Norway, and Sweden spend close to $100 or more per capita toward their public media.\n \n\nAccording to your research, how can public media help strengthen democracies?\n\nVP: While our research specifically shows the correlation between strong public media systems and strong democracies, there is a growing body of research that suggests substantial social benefits from strong public media systems, including well-informed political cultures, high levels of support for democratic processes, and increased levels of civic engagement. \n \n\nWhat are some arguments against government support of public media? How do you counter these criticisms?\n\nVP: There is a common fear, especially here in the U.S., that government funding of public media creates a dangerous situation where our news organizations will become mouthpieces of the state. While state capture is a legitimate concern, many democracies around the world have figured out how to create strong safeguards to maintain public media’s independence. Moreover, our research bolsters the argument that a robust public media system is beneficial –– perhaps even essential -– for maintaining a healthy democratic society."', 'created': '2024-11-09 20:30:51', 'submission_id': '1gnhfx7'}

The only thing humans can do to not deal with hurricanes is “not live close to the coast”\nAnd as we saw with Helene, even that is hit or miss. \n\nBut the wild fires? Those are COMPLETELY preventable. For DECADES, the people in charge of clearing dry kindling, of keeping the forests and woods clear of the fuel that a lighting strike or idiot with fireworks needs to set a blaze have been forbidden from doing their job. Controlled burns, something that nature NEEDS to help new life grow, have been all but BANNED in CA\n\nSo it’s literally like a Wiley E Coyote cartoon where he stack a ton of explosives, RR (the lightning bolt or idiot with a cigarette) comes and sets the fuse off, and Wiley looks shocked when all his powder kievs explode on him. \n\nFlorida and the South East don’t get to stop hurricanes.

{'comment': "Funny part is the antithesis of most of those statements was already happening with full liberal support.  \n\nFor instance, prayer in school they claim will be mandatory or suspension.  Meanwhile in today's world kids that would like to pray in school get suspended all the time for praying, mentioning the bible or God in defense of their point in debates on a myriad of topics.  \n\nMost feminine products and birth control are available at no cost to women, right now, but everyone else is paying for them and you likely won't get the brand and style that you want.  \n\nEqual pay is not much of an issue at the moment as we've been working toward that a long time, however women and minorities often get jobs with less qualifications than white male counterparts to meet various quotas and/or qualify for funding.  \n\nThe same party that fought for civil rights and got it done and ended slavery and was fought every step of the way by democrats is now going to stomp all over the rights of the LGBTQ community?  Conservatives believe in true freedom, FOR EVERYONE, not the regulated freedom with oversight the democrats believe in.  We just also believe that children need not be manipulated, coerced, controlled, nor exposed to life altering decisions until they are old enough to understand all the ramifications of those decisions.  Live your life how you want but leave the kids out of it isn't too much to ask.\n\nAnd of course women are now free to do as they like, including treating abortion as birth control.  The left has no problem with that.  The right wants that to be a last resort and they request not to be forced to pay for it or have the federal government facilitate the killing of the unborn child.  It's a state issue and the degree of involvement should be left up to the state.  Your body, your choice isn't applicable when there's another body killed in the process and another wallet footing the bill.\n\n  \nA lot of the rest of that stuff is just paranoid delusion.

And honestly, I’d rather prescribe an SSRI that has a mild side effect profile to help them vs have them commit suicide and get sued because I didn’t treat their depression.\n\nThe same goes for diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, etc. Aside from some genetic causes, these conditions are *almost entirely* reversible with lifestyle changes alone. But do my patients *want* to dedicate themselves to counting calories, limiting processed foods, quitting smoking/drinking/drugs and exercising?  No! And again, I’d rather put those people on a medication with a mild side effect profile that I *know* they’ll take then send them home knowing they’ll continue to destroy their bodies and find out later on they had a stroke or heart attack that could have been prevented.\n\nI guess the big thing is, people blame doctors for “pushing pills” but people themselves *want* those pills vs taking  personal responsibility, and as doctors our job is to minimize that harm.', 'created': '2024-11-09 20:47:00', 'submission_id': '1gmqwdc'}
{'comment': 'Dependency is both a business and the means to an end. \n\nFirst you convince people they are broken. Then you offer them a cure, but not a permanent one. You have to string them along for life. Then you do this tens of millions of times and make a profit. You use that money to buy politicians. When the fabricated crisis is big enough the government steps in and takes over the healthcare system in order to “care” for the citizens. Along side of this you take away their ability to fight back or challenge you. You take away their ability to revolt. \n\nAny of this sound familiar? This is the step we are stuck at now. One group trying to break the system another trying to reform or save it. All while telling you that guns are bad and preaching against violence while they themselves increase the vitriolic rhetoric to incite violence against anyone or everyone. \n\nGoing forward: The government uses increased tax dollars (raised from anyone who refuses to be broken and still works) to pay an increased cost for the cure for all of the broken people. Government lackies skim off the top to keep contracts going and raise taxes all under the mantra of “the common good”.  They do whatever it takes to stay in control lest someone new try and change things. Eventually you have 3 classes of people. The dependent class, the decreasing working class and the government. But now that the government controls who is deemed worthy and who isn’t, your access to any cures, they can decide who gets them and who doesn’t. You don’t have the means of fighting back. If you don’t stay in line you can just be cut off and die. Eventually, regardless of whether you stay in line or not, they start cutting you off under the guise of “saving society” and the planet. Reduce the population. Only the chosen survive and continue to perpetuate the system while those at the top reap all of the benefits, you are simply “allowed” to live as long as the bureaucracy decides it benefits them. The end game is a small group of elites who use the population, that they allow to exist, to serve them _however_ they choose to be served.\n\nHa, just kidding.

{'comment': 'Here’s my perspective. I’m all for Ukrainian sovereignty and for them to win this war. That said, there’s no foreseeable end in sight. Ukraine wasn’t able to end it before Russia got their war machine working again, which means it’s no longer a matter of “just another 6 months and Russia will be out of tanks”. The US has sent untold billions of dollars of aid to Ukraine which has only managed to hold the line, if that. \xa0In reality, without western aid Ukraine would’ve been under complete Russian control a year ago if not earlier so getting out with any land would already be a win. I’d love for the US to be able to fight a proxy war forever and eventually win, but our country is trillions of dollars in debt and I promise you we’re aren’t getting paid back by Ukraine. It’s an unfortunate situation, but I don’t think there’s a good answer. It looks like ceding some land to Russia may be the only way to win the war.

{'comment': 'Again….the law already gives the out, it is now falling on the doctors to perform it. It seems to me they are using the law to hide behind it, rather than actually perform the life saving surgery necessary to keep the mother alive. I’ve gone through as many searches I could in different variations related to doctors being sued, jailed, or prosecuted in Texas over this law, and have found none prosecuted under the law. So, you make these claims, when not a single doctor has been charged, let alone convicted in a criminal or civil court over the law. \n\nSorry, but this argument leans in my direction here, as there’s no proof that it’s the law that’s preventing them, but rather the doctors and the staff are the problem. \n\nBesides, I don’t see you complaining about doctors leading to the third leading cause of death in the US…', 'created': '2024-11-08 20:31:54', 'submission_id': '1gmk1ui'}

Doesn’t matter what they feel or how the law was written, so long as the stipulation where if the mother’s life is in jeopardy, they can perform an abortion. Plain and simple.

I live in MD so pretty much folks would vote for a glass of water with a D next to it, so got used to my vote being worthless. Except for that time that I voted for Hogan for governor, and somehow he won.\n\nSo this election I was finally glad it was over. No more political attack ads, and no more political rallies, and no more Trump is Hitler shit. Then my father went on Facebook...said he was going to move to NZ and all these vile Democrats began rage messaging against him on social media.\n\nThis even though it was something they had been planning on considering doing years ago, and they were planning on retiring next year no matter who won.\n\nSo I thought, screw this Democrats, I'm re-registering as a Republican.

If you want the longer term, it started when Mohammed started a new religion and kept coming up with tenets for it that were attractive to the bandits that were his original followers.  Remember that at the time, most communities in the Middle East were Jewish.\n\n> Palestine has been occupied and oppressed for the better part of 80 years\n\nMuch, much longer than that.  Remember that the Jews were living there more than 3000 years ago, according to the Merneptah Stele.  There has never been a country called "Palestine", and 80 years ago it was part of the British Mandate.  When the UN\'s attempt to create a Palestinian state failed (because the Arabs and Palestinians rejected it in favor of war), the British relinquished control in 1948, and the Jewish inhabitants of the area re-established Israel in *their* ancestral homeland.  Of course, all of their neighbors immediately declared war on them - but that followed 30 years of terrorist attacks from Muslims, so it wasn\'t really a surprise.\n\nIsrael\'s neighbors lost that war.  ...and the war after that.  ...and the one after that.  ...and the one after that, etc., etc.\n\nWhen you start a war and lose, and the people you attacked take some of your land as a result, you have no one to blame but yourself.\n\n> But the terms of that offer aren’t fair\n\nAs Bill Clinton recently said in a speech, the thing that upset him the most was he had brokered a peace deal, which the Israelis had agreed to, which gave the Palestinians 96% of the Palestinian territories and 17% of Jerusalem to use as their capital.  ...and Arafat rejected it.\n\nPalestinians can suck it now.

One study has reported that some young adults, who had received puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and laparoscopic intestinal vaginoplasty, self-reported orgasmic capacity (Bouman et al., 2016). However, this finding does not negate Bower’s concerns, as it did not make any assessment of the correlation between Tanner stage at initiation of puberty blockers with orgasm outcome. Of note, some of the patients in the study were over the age of 18 at start of GAT. Further, its findings do not apply to those undergoing penile skin inversion vaginoplasty. Importantly, Bouman et al. found that 32% of their participants self-reported being sexually inactive and only 52% reported having had neovaginal penetrative sex more than once. A recent literature review on sexual outcomes in adults post-vaginoplasty noted the paucity of high-quality evidence but reported that “up to 29% of patients may be diagnosed with a sexual dysfunction due to associated distress with a sexual function disturbance” (Schardein & Nikolavsky, 2022). Another recent systematic review of vaginoplasty reported an overall 24% post-surgery rate of inability to achieve orgasm (Bustos et al., 2021).”', 'created': '2024-11-08 05:19:22', 'submission_id': '1gm5z3f'}

The one single case you are referring to is not nearly as direct as the left has tried to make it and her death had very little to do with abortion accessibility. \n\nSo you’ve justified the Democrats horrific propaganda about Trump being the end of democracy because of a false claim about his “criminal immunity,” recommendations for contraception and same sex marriage, from a judge that never became law and weren’t given any real thought or consideration, and abortion rights now belonging to the states (which the left also repeatedly lied about and called a federal ban and further claimed to be an “attack on a woman’s right of her own body”) So that justifies Democrats calling Trump the next Hitler? That justifies the sheer panic and horror that some of you Democrats are living with?\n\nThe lies, hateful language, and divisiveness need to stop. And they are coming from the self-proclaimed “party of unity”', 'created': '2024-11-08 08:06:13', 'submission_id': '1gm5z3f'}

When I grew up in Arkansas you just kept any queer stuff to yourself because if you didn't you were gonna get your ass beat. I kind of knew what the f word for gay meant and we'd say it when a man was being a sissy, but I don't think I realized that there were men who would just openly sin like that in real life until I was older.

It taught her to use self-harm threats to ensure I would not take her phone or block social media. The last two years of high school were a nightmare.

There's a a main mod for the Texas subreddit that is ran by very far leftist that will literally block and kick people out if they say anything that has any right leaning ideology and there's hundreds and thousands of people that make it look like this subreddit is actually for people in Texas in general when it's definitely a leftist agenda pushed subreddit and on top of that that woman who happens to be trans which is unimportant has tried to get control of other subreddits that have to do with Texas, that's dangerous if you think about it like that ideology is getting pushed on to other people and they're thinking that it's okay to push that narrative on to other people. How do far leftist more importantly think that this country is going to last if everyone is thinking the same way? It's really scary.

{'comment': 'Your claim that Pence “did his job” while knowing the election was ‘rigged’ assumes there was definitive evidence of widespread fraud in the 2020 election. However, extensive investigations, court rulings, and audits—many conducted by Republican-led entities—found no evidence of widespread fraud that would have changed the election outcome. The Vice President’s constitutional duty was to oversee the certification of state-certified electoral votes, not to decide their legitimacy based on unsupported claims.\n\nRegarding your comparison between Biden and JFK’s popularity, popularity is complex and influenced by numerous factors like demographics, media exposure, and social context. Comparing presidential candidates from vastly different eras based solely on public recognition overlooks significant changes in media, technology, and population size. Winning an election depends on votes, not historical legacy or familiarity. In 2020, Biden won more votes than any presidential candidate in history, verified by the electoral process and confirmed by numerous recounts and legal reviews.\n\nBering merely surprised by the support for Biden is not grounds for a presumption of guilt. Trump’s overwhelming win this month was shocking, but that does not suggest that it wasn’t fair. Hypocrisy exists here.', 'created': '2024-11-08 19:35:18', 'submission_id': '1glvro7'}
{'comment': "Man, what? \n\nMike Pence's role in certifying the 2020 election was entirely consistent with his constitutional duty and existing law. The 12th Amendment and the Electoral Count Act (ECA) of 1887 made it clear that the Vice President's role is to preside over the counting of electoral votes submitted by the states, not to unilaterally decide their validity. Any disputes over state-certified votes are resolved by Congress, not the Vice President, which is exactly what happened during the 2020 certification. \n\nThe 2022 Electoral Count Reform Act, which aimed to clarify and modernize the ECA, did not exist at the time and thus has no bearing on Pence’s actions. He followed the law and fulfilled his constitutional role by overseeing the process without attempting to alter the certified results.\n\nOf everything I have said here, what do you not understand? These are not feelings, these are facts. The arguments I have head against this issue have been purely emotionally charged. It's okay to dislike the outcome of 2020, but to to say it was unconstitutional is **factually** wrong. Stop attacking this man for no reason. He has done nothing for people to say he should be *h\\*nged*. That is sick and I absolutely lost respect for a lot of conservatives that day.

{'comment': 'I mostly agree with you with one major caveat.  Election abnormalities have to be challenged.  Notice I am not specifying anything in particular like fraud.  I said "abnormalities."\n\nThis was the big problem with 2020.  There were countless abnormalities, and most of it stemmed from late chances to voting procedures and allowances due to COVID.  Conservatives did not like that at all because on the one hand they were being told it was time to move past COVID while at the same time being told the rules governing voting needed to change because of COVID.  And it needs to be pointed out that years after that election those changes were found by multiple courts to be unconstitutional, so that only adds to the sense many have that 2020 was unjust.  \n\nYou do have a problem with colloquial language and pedantic buffoonery on the other. Conservatives foolishly used a common, low brow vernacular to refer to everything they saw wrong about 2020.  That term was "fraud."  Well, it wasn\'t fraud, not by legal definition at least.  But liberals pounced on that and used to declare people guilty of pushing "misinformation" and proceeded to have them censored or taken to court.  That was liberal being stupidly and dishonestly pedantic.  They knew damn well what everyone was referring to.  And at the same time Conservatives knew dam well that "fraud" was an insufficient blanket term, and they were too stubborn and lazy to address the issue properly.\n\nIf liberals see any abnormalities in the voting or counting process, I strongly encourage them to avail themselves of their legal rights to file challenges and request recounts.  And unlike Georgia who violated its own law to deny people hearings, I would urge every court to speedily litigate any and all challenges.  \n\nChallenging election results is not inherently bad or wrong.  If something needs clarification, transparency, or reversal for faith in the system to remain healthy, then that\'s what needs to happen.  But anyone making those challenges needs to educate themselves first on the issue and speak to it precisely and properly.  And people who don\'t like the challenge should engage in the process in good faith regardless.', 'created': '2024-11-07 22:32:38', 'submission_id': '1glpdqv'}

They simply asked why.  they wanted me to think about my vote and what policies i cared about.  They explained why they voted for trump and just encouraged me to think.  I also woke up and thought WWIII was going to happen under trump, boy was i wrong.\n\nThere is no fixing these people.  This is a result of years of machine lying and fear mongering.

Require every citizen show that ID every time they vote, every time they apply for a government benefit, every time they apply for a job, every time they're stopped by the police, every time they interact with any level of American government or do anything else where proof of citizenship is required or beneficial.

(2 years being when voting happens again and we could lose the senate or something.) Even if we get all 4, they just aren't going to do everything in that project. \n\nI have not read the project but was able to gather info about it regarding women. \n\nOne BIG concern they have is not being able to get the abortion pills. \n\nPersonally I'm ok with a morning after, but after several weeks it is too hard on a woman's body. They don't want women to know that it isn't like birth control. It's a medical miscarriage and there might be baby parts the further along. How gruesome to see you killed your baby. In a clinic they whisk that away.", 'created': '2024-11-06 21:29:05', 'submission_id': '1gkyu2y'}

{'comment': 'You aren’t missing anything. There’s an old episode of the Simpsons where principal Skinner has a moment where he was mocked by the kids in his school for something he said or did (can’t remember exactly what his transgression was.) In his moment of reflection he asks himself “could it be that I’m so out of touch, I’m wrong on this issue?” Then within a few seconds of contemplation, he says “no…it’s the children who are wrong.” \n\nThis is a perfect representation of the establishment; or as I prefer to call them, the empire. The empire consists of career politicians (on teams red *and* blue) as well as the corporate media (msnbc, cnn, Fox, abc, nbc, cbs, pbs, et al) and Hollywood, and the daytime and late night talk shows, and the music industry and on and on and on and on, ad infinitum. \n\nThe empire has been telling us (us being Americans who have voted team red and/or team blue…Americans who have enjoyed music, movies, etc. for years) that we are wrong, we need more government, we need more control, most of all-*war is good*. Well the empire showed its cards when Trump came down the escalator. They went from suggesting we might be wrong to full on calling us nazi, fascist, racist, (insert root word of your choice)-phobic. They’ve screamed at us and used inflammatory rhetoric while demanding our compliance and allegiance. \n\nWe finally were backed into a corner and we pushed back. We the people voted overwhelmingly for a real estate billionaire from NY who drug the Republican Party along with him. Once elected, the empire resisted him at every turn. He alone couldn’t accomplish a lot because he faced so much resistance. Four years later, he was defeated in favor of a perfect tool of the empire (Biden.) Biden has been an empire tool for five decades. He is the epitome of politician in that he stands for nothing and simply licks his finger and holds it to the wind to determine his platform. An obvious choice to the bidding of the empire. *Allow me to sit at the big desk and I’ll do whatever you like.* As Biden adopted the platform of the far left that distract us (trans, abortion, etc.) but in reality, adopted the platform of the empire (endless war, empire building, propaganda, etc.) Four years of telling us that it’s good that men can expose themselves in women’s locker rooms after beating those women in their sports, sexualizing our children, displaying their sexual proclivities in public, etc., we were once again backed into a corner. Again, we pushed back. \n\nWe the people overwhelmingly voted for the New York billionaire. But the New York billionaire is smart. He went away four years ago and regrouped. He returned with former democrats who have power, wealth, and influence. Elon, Tulsi, RFK, Rogan, Weinstein, Taibi, Pool, Greenwald, on and on. We (not the republicans) the people overwhelmingly defeated their insane ideology. We won the popular vote, the electoral vote, the house, the senate. We showed the insane leftists that we don’t want to subscribe to their religion. We love women. We love children. We want to protect them and watch them thrive. \n\nIn this defeat, the left went full principal Seymour Skinner. ***If*** they actually had a moment where they contemplated the possibility that they were out of touch, they very quickly doubled down and said “no…it’s the children who are wrong.”', 'created': '2024-11-07 14:42:49', 'submission_id': '1gkyu2y'}

{'comment': "Waiting to see all the leftist gun groups stage the civil disobedience they've been projecting onto the right. Anyone remember the race riots a few years back with BLM? Imagine that but a decent few of them have been 'training'. \n\nBeing real, if it were an actual 2A red blooded American on top of that building, we wouldn't have missed.... the first shot.\nNot making light of what happened, but expect a lot of shots with very little efficiency. This is what you should be worried about up until around inauguration.\n\nFurthermore we still have a few months until he's sworn in. They could make Biden senile and reseat him with the VP... making Kamala Potus with or without an election win. A few certain Exec Orders and boom you have Martial Law, extension of Presidential powers and an indefinite postponement of election results. \nWhich gets those FEMA camps filled and the country in the direction it has been. \n\nTLDR: everyone celebrating but we forget about the fact that this person still has a position of power, has already shoehorned her way past her own DNC election and likely has no concern over the actions herein. In fact it only informs them of who their enemies are. Intel scouting. \n#tinfoilhat", 'created': '2024-11-06 19:40:58', 'submission_id': '1gkt0sk'}

{'comment': 'I’m part of a NA sub and I just saw a post “idk how I’m going to stay sober now that Trump has won.”  🙄🙄🙄 thankfully no one was feeding into their bs. “Waaah Trump made me relapse.” I’d love to see someone say that in an actual meeting and watch other peoples reactions. I’ve seen people who took their sobriety seriously relapse due to loved ones dying or losing their jobs or homes. For example, there was a mother who was clean for 20 plus years and unfortunately her daughter who rarely used drugs overdosed on a fake Xanax (laced with fentanyl). Her daughter was only 17 when she died. That poor lady wanted to end her life by taking a hot shot and it took her everything in her power to not do that. I’m sorry if you relapse because of a political election then you probably didn’t want to get clean in the first place, that or you just want attention.

{'comment': 'That’s all they’ve got, man. No criticism of value has been levied against Trump over this because they have nothing. They just can’t fathom the reality that Kamala was probably the worst candidate in the history of the country and that Trump was up in literally every demographic of people in this country, so naturally they revert back to their “everyone is racist and sexist” bullshit. \n\nWhen you actually consider it, them asserting that Trump won because of racists and sexists actually _is itself_ a racist thing to say. It’s just like Biden saying the “if you vote for Trump, you ain’t black” thing. \n\nThey can’t believe that minority demographics voted for Trump in record numbers. Surely all black people and Hispanics are a pure monolith and will always vote for a “black”/minority democrat, right? They all think the same exact way because of the color of their skin, right? It’s just another classic case of the left’s own racism that they lack the ability to recognize, right up there with “black people/minorities are incapable of acquiring a photo ID” and the whole “white savior” concept, for example. It’s not the first time they’ve acted this way, and it certainly won’t be the last.', 'created': '2024-11-07 13:58:38', 'submission_id': '1gksukk'}

{'comment': '(Btw, I’m not trying to stir anything up or pick a fight with you here or anything like that either, I’m just having a conversation with you)\n\nI mean, I’m not concerned or stressed about it either (if anything, I find it highly entertaining lol), but based on how they have handled literally every other situation like this where a Republican wins in anything, assuming that they’re going to die down or stop talking about this election this time is like the exact opposite of what they’re going to do. Like, they literally spent four years denying the 2016 election results and made up all sorts of nonsense to try to discredit the outcome.\n\nThat sort of behavior is absolutely going to be a staple of the left for the next four years; it’s going to be all that they talk about for a good while. Just turn the channel over to cnn or msnbc for a minute and see how insanely they are currently reacting to this. \n\nFor example, Morning Joe went on a rant yesterday morning that was literally nothing but 100% lies. He included the “very fine people” hoax, “Trump wants to have Liz Cheney executed” bs, the “literal dictator” nonsense—basically every single lie you’ve ever heard from the left, including the ones that have been completely and entirely debunked. I’m literally not exaggerating here; every single thing he said was a blatant lie in every way. Their audience actually believes that shit when he says it, so thinking that those people are going to just give up when they’ve been fed that propaganda and built up these massive non-existent stakes for nearly a decade doesn’t seem likely to me. \n\nWe know their playbook, and nowhere in that playbook does it say to just accept Trump and shut up about it. A massive swath of them literally think he is going to create a fascist dictatorship in this country, and they 100% believe that. Again, I’m not exaggerating anything here.\n\nThe left has not changed since 2016, so I have no reason to believe that they’re just gonna drop this election talk all of a sudden. On the contrary, I have every reason to believe that they _will_ keep harping on it and making up lies to cope. It’s not going to just vanish anytime soon. \n\nSo yeah, I’m not stressing about it either, but thinking that they’re gonna quit or die down with the crazy ass rhetoric is assuming they have any semblance of intellectual integrity, which they absolutely don’t. It does make for some incredibly entertaining freak out moments, though lol.', 'created': '2024-11-07 13:41:19', 'submission_id': '1gksukk'}

{'comment': 'I hear you. Will they ever stop talking about Trump? No. Of course, not. Republicans talked about Biden his whole term, why would we expect the Dems to react differently? I’m not trying to poke the bear, but I’ve always held the position that it’s really hard to criticize one party for doing something that both of them do, which is talk. Republicans talk about Trump, Dems talk about Trump, everyone talks about Trump. Both sides pass lies around like Thanksgiving dinner. It’s the nature of politics. That is particularly why I do not see them talking as something to harp on. \n\nI actually have seen lots of journalists talk about the failure of the Dem party, though. You and I may have been looking at different sections of media but I haven’t seen anyone deny the results of any sort. Some blame-shifting for sure, but you know there will always be people who lie in media. You should always control for that when watching anything, anyway. That’s kind of something we can’t do much about.\n\nTrump is a provocative figure, let’s be honest. At least the sensible individuals here can admit to that. Like him all you want, but he isn’t popular just because of his politics. He aggravates the atmosphere that politicians have maintained for decades. He’s a charismatic leader who has a loyal following which encourages him to remain steadfast. To expect anyone to stop talking about him is, at the very least, unrealistic. Now, will we have another Jan 6th? No, because that’s nonsense. Like I said, the most Dems can do is talk about it all day, which they’re at liberty to do. Just like Republicans are at liberty to call Joe Biden old and Kamala Harris a “witch.” Also understand that they’re in shock at how massively the Dem party failed, even more so than they did in 2016. This is feeling more like the 5 stages of grief. I get that you’re annoyed by it, but Republicans went through it in 2020. This is nothing new. The only difference is Dems will take up space on social media for the next four years until they get a chance at office again, but it’s highly unlikely any physical opposition will take place. This is a red wave election. Trump has more power than he did in 2016. So the most Dems CAN do is talk, lol.', 'created': '2024-11-07 14:06:04', 'submission_id': '1gksukk'}

Oh, and the cackling didn\'t help.\n\nI voted for Trump bc:\n\n1 He cares about the USA border, will deport the bad people who\'ve snuck across,  and will start securing it - again.\n\n2 He will protect women\'s spaces, the safety of Jewish students on college campuses, and the rights of Asian American college students who have been kept out of universities due to racism by bigoted policies.\n\n3 He will stand up to Islamic terrorism and help protect Israel.\n\nI did not vote for Kamala bc:\n\n1 She cared only about the borders of other countries, would continue to ignore criminals sneaking into the USA to committ crimes, and would make it easier than ever for anyone to illegally enter the USA.\n\n2 She would kowtow to men who insist on invading women\'s spaces, continue to ignore the safety of Jewish students at US college campuses, and ignore the decades of racial discrimination against Asians at US Universities.\n\n3 She would pretend Islamic terrorists are trustworthy and undermine the safety of Israel by pushing them to make a peace agreement with shose who want to push Israel and Jews into the sea.\n\nToday is a wonderful day and it will only get better.', 'created': '2024-11-06 09:43:20', 'submission_id': '1gks6zr'}

{'comment': 'Donald Trump might pull this off. It’s too early to say; we might not know till the middle of next year, or whenever some\xa0[antediluvian state finishes counting by hand](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/us/politics/2024/11/05/us-presidential-election-2024-when-dates-candidates-voting/). Plus Electoral College madness means that Trump could surge in the popular vote yet still lose via Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan (the reverse Hillary). But consider the following:\n\nFirst, he took\xa0[Florida easily, including Miami-Dade](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/us/politics/2024/11/05/us-election-latest-news-polling-trump-kamala/). Joe Biden won that county in 2020; Hillary Clinton swept it by nearly 30 points in 2016. What’s made the difference? Trump’s doing well among Latino voters, presumably men.\n\nSecond, there are hints he’s gained ground among the affluent in Virginia, which is supposed to be a lock for Kamala; Wasps with degrees are her people.\n\nThird, he seems to be scooping Georgia, which might have been competitive and certainly suggests the sun-belt is safe (Texas is also not in play). Fourth, an NBC exit poll gives him a six point advantage among independents in the critical state of Pennsylvania.\n\nExit polls generally indicate that\xa0[“the future of democracy” is a leading issue,](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/us/comment/2024/11/06/americans-voting-out-of-resentment-and-fear/)\xa0which breathless TV commentators assumed was a good sign for Harris. But lots of Republicans think the Democrats stole the election in 2020, so they might be recording concern for that issue as well.\n\nThe other major matter is the economy, and Trump polls stronger than Kamala on that one for obvious reasons (ie inflation). No wonder election betting seems to slightly favour Republicans, along with the\xa0*New York Times*\xa0and Decision Desk HQ.\n\nBut, yes, there’s a long night ahead, and none of us knows anything for sure. It’s a delight to watch British TV presenters disclose the latest thing they read on CNN as if it were a personal insight (”I’m predicting now that Harris will take Vermont and the Pope will carry the Vatican”).\n\nBut what we can decisively say at this juncture is that of the four options – Trump easy win, narrow win; Harris narrow win, easy win – the Harris easy win is off the table. Despite January 6, a rape trial, “eating the pets” and a comedian calling Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage”. I wonder if Joe Biden might have done better?\n\n**Read more from The Telegraph:** [https://www.telegraph.co.uk/us/comment/2024/11/06/its-beginning-to-look-like-donald-trump-is-going-to-win/](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/us/comment/2024/11/06/its-beginning-to-look-like-donald-trump-is-going-to-win/)', 'created': '2024-11-06 03:11:01', 'submission_id': '1gknt9y'}

A lot of people were manipulated into feeling ashamed for supporting Trump 8 years ago.\n\nI\'m happy that the conversation was eventually had with OP and Dad.\n\nWe can\'t let the mainstream media dictate our conversations with FAMILY!!! Or for that matter.... friends and family, or anyone else.\n\nIt\'s a Liberal tactic to scare people into not using their 1st amendment rights!\n\nAs a 40 year old, I bought my MAGA hat 9 months ago. I was initially afraid to wear it in my incredibly liberal state. I was afraid to wear a fucking hat! Eventually,  I said fuck this. I\'m not going to be silenced. Oddly enough, the response by people was far more positive than negative.', 'created': '2024-11-06 06:22:10', 'submission_id': '1gkm92n'}

I am a Republican woman, but it's funny that over half the country has voted for him (so far), yet I didn't seem to run across a single Trump supporter online anywhere the last few months (particularlyin female groups).

{'comment': '>Modern scholars have written about the presidential mandate as a myth or a fictional device used solely as rhetoric to further a political agenda. After all, there is no basis for the idea in written law - the words “presidential mandate” do not appear anywhere in the U.S. Constitution. However, the concept of a presidential mandate is powerful not because it is any kind of legal statute, but because it is an idea of how power and leadership work in a representative democracy. This idea can be appealing to many people, especially for presidents who consider it a free pass for doing what they want in office.\n\n>No one should be blinded by the idea of an all-powerful mandate that gives the president the right to unlimited power. Checks and balances exist for a reason, and we all have the right to be part of the political process, not only as passive observers but as active participants.\n\nhttps://academy4sc.org/video/presidential-mandate-the-right-to-govern/', 'created': '2024-11-18 21:05:55', 'submission_id': '1guccjn'}

{'comment': 'I look at policies like tax credits for small businesses as an example of poorly reaching out to working class Americans who have no plans to own a business. We were in a really tough spot. How would harris own the success of the growth in the economy and also say that people were struggling a lot since the pandemic to meet prices from inflation? By consistently saying the economy has rebounded, which it did by metrics, wasn’t enough for people who were not positively impacted by rising stocks or GDP. even the success of inflation coming back down didn’t mean prices were suddenly low, so I thought it would have been important to explain why prices were still high beyond just saying we would have price gouging laws for the future. At the end of the day, I really hate how much the double standard between Trump and Harris was, but I do think we could have done more than just saying we would reduce taxes and cut red tape for housing.

{'comment': 'This was bound to happen, although I didn’t expect it to happen this quickly.\n\nMusk isn’t used to sharing power with others. He’s not big on collaboration. Instead, he prefers to simply be asked “how high?” when he tells someone to “jump!” That’s the private sector, not the public sector.\n\nWait until Musk finds that members of Congress and the heads of various Executive branch departments jealously guard their power. They are, at best, going to slow-walk whatever he wants that they don’t want. His attitude itself will rub a lot of them the wrong way. They will not like some CEO telling them what they’re going to do for him.\n\nCouple this with the Project 2025 plan to fire most of the Executive branch staff—thousands and thousands of people—and to replace them with totally new, barely-experienced, hardly-trained employees who’ve been selected not because they’re the best for their positions but because they have professed loyalty to Trump. What would happen to a corporation if a new CEO fired everyone and replaced them at the same time? Those of us who work in corporate America know the answer; a totally inefficient workforce for at least a year, pissed off employees, pissed off customers, people quitting, stock price plummeting, etc.\n\nMusk will become frustrated with all this. I expect him to focus first on the things that benefit him, and then I think he’s going to be looking for an exit. Trump will blame him for any and all efficiency issues when he leaves. Hell, Trump will blame him for whatever he wants; truth matters not.\n\nThat’s what Musk doesn’t understand. Trump wasn’t looking for a partner; he was looking for a fall guy. He always is. He uses people until they aren’t useful anymore, and then he blames them for whatever he can. Musk thinks he’s a master of the universe; he believes it will be different with him. So did everyone else who had their lives ruined by Trump.\n\n“But Trump needs Twitter,” someone may say. No, he doesn’t. Even if he does, he’s too arrogant to believe it. In fact, Musk needs Trump and his supporters more than they need Twitter. Without them, Twitter is fucked now.', 'created': '2024-11-18 17:11:02', 'submission_id': '1gtut1n'}

Looking over his shoulder at the epidemic of blue, David Brinkley observed: “It’s beginning to look like a suburban swimming pool.” Other NBC staffers took to calling it “Lake Reagan.”"\n\n[https://time.com/archive/6883589/press-like-a-suburban-swimming-pool/](https://time.com/archive/6883589/press-like-a-suburban-swimming-pool/)', 'created': '2024-11-18 05:21:40', 'submission_id': '1gtqc5i'}

You can do this.\n\nThis is not a political movement to establish a political platform or elect a candidate. It doesn't require money.\n\nThis is a resistance movement of pro-democracy Americans. Which means everybody who hasn't fully embraced Trump's fascism.\n\nThis is what an American antifa should look like. Pro democracy Americans just talking to other Americans who haven't been able to grasp that fascism has been waging a propaganda war against all of us. \n\nThink a little bit another way. If you find your friend or coworker is reading the Nigerian Prince emails and doesn't recognize them for a scam. You would talk to them.\n\n\n>I don't think people on the left are as united and motivated to take matters into own hand. And, centrists (Biden and Harris core base) are even more passive when it comes to political activism.\n\nYou don't have to be united with anyone else to do start doing this. To push back against the propaganda war by helping someone out of the misinformation cloud. And to encourage other Democrats to do the same.\n\nDon't think of it as about political activism. Think of it as educating people you know about fascism.\n\nThen once you open their eyes to Trump's fascism, the next step would be to talk to them about the great wealth transfer. Help them to see that Republican Party leadership has always primarily been about making the rich richer. \n\n>I don't think we need to wait till another election cycle, Trump organized rallies after winning the election as a president, he started campaigning three years before election. Democrats need to start a movement like that.\n\nThat will probably fail. The same reason Democrats lost the election. \n\nBecause long before Trump, decades ago, the Republican party starting conditioning Americans to be suspicious of politicians, of government, of experts. And repeatedly told them over, and over again that Democrats are crazed liberals who would destroy the country. Trump came along and amplified that.\n\nSo the people who are part of MAGA who bought into Trump's fascist vision for the US are a lost cause. Because at their core, they fully embraced the message of intolerance.\n\nBut everyone else who voted against Harris, or didn't vote, mistrusts the political parties. They don't believe what Democrats have to say. Didn't vote for Harris, *because they can't hear her.*\n\nSo the Democratic Party can have all the political rallies they want, but these people aren't going to those rallies till they break the psychological conditioning. Until they can see through the propaganda. \n\nMeanwhile, it's important to start now. Because this propaganda machine is still chugging along.

And now with DOD, Trumpies are sending a message to senior military officers that if you oppose us, as in when Trump wants to use the US military against the American people, then we will come after you.\n\nBut what the brilliant minds behind Trump are missing is shock and awe did not work.  All that happened is the Iraqi government and military melted away and then formed a brutal and lethal resistance that fought the US military to a standstill. \n\nWhat the Bannon, Musk, Thiels don\'t get is you can\'t brutalize a population into submission. It ultimately never works, it\'s always sparks a resistance. \n\nOf course the current old, hapless conflict adverse leadership of the Dem party is incapable of leading any resistance, but an effective one will emerge, especially if the Trumpies court martial senior military leaders and fire civil servants.

{'comment': 'tldr;\n\nThe recent meeting between President Joe Biden and President-elect Donald Trump at the White House marked a significant moment in the peaceful transfer of power, highlighting the contrast between this transition and the events of 2020. Four years ago, Trump refused to concede defeat to Biden, spreading baseless conspiracy theories that ultimately fueled the January 6 Capitol attack. This time, Biden hosted Trump with the calm demeanor he has championed as essential to preserving democracy, emphasizing collaboration with Trump’s transition team to ensure a smooth handover of federal responsibilities.\n\nThe transition stands in stark contrast to Trump’s behavior in 2020, when his administration delayed key bureaucratic processes, stalling necessary preparations for the incoming Biden administration. By contrast, the Biden administration has been proactive, with the General Services Administration promptly acknowledging Trump’s victory and initiating the transfer of administrative services. This underscores Biden’s dedication to upholding democratic norms, even in the face of political rivalry.\n\nAnother defining moment will occur on January 6, 2025, when Vice President Kamala Harris fulfills her duty to certify the election results, a solemn task performed in the very spot pro-Trump extremists overran four years prior. Her actions, alongside Biden’s, illustrate a commitment to democracy that transcends personal political ambition, offering a fleeting return to normalcy before the uncertainties of a second Trump presidency. Together, these actions serve as a final testament to Biden’s belief in the resilience of democratic principles.', 'created': '2024-11-17 00:02:06', 'submission_id': '1gsxxbj'}

{'comment': "Rural poverty is a real issue in Oklahoma, but I would say we are easy to manipulate. The issue is there is only one message being sent out here and countering that message takes money. Under Dean's 50 state initiative we had a big surge in this state, but the state party is under funded and under staffed.\n\nI think it'd be extremely incorrect to say that our voters are illeducated. A recent poll found us at #30 which isn't great but, once again, rural poverty is a real issue. We had a state question this past go around about passing bonds for zoning districts and it was a fairly complex issue. The levels of discourse I saw around it were pretty well educated and reasoned. \n\nIt's a shitty situation on two sides. We are the testing ground for stupid shit the Republicans want to try. We (Oklahoma Democrats) are pretty routinely shit on by both Republicans for being Democrats but also Democrats for being Oklahomans. Those of us who aren't fleeing the state and instead want to push back against this stupid crap get it from all sides.\n\n40% of this state is fighting back against this crap with bailing wire and grit, because that is all we have but by God are we going to try.\n\n(That's not saying you in particular are shitting on us, you aren't. Just a general reminder for all that a lot of us are trying to reverse course.

This undercurrent no doubt felt an affinity for the movement Trump started.\n\nRacist cultures love company, combined with generational familial ties probably kept most southerners as glued to the southern regions in a similar way that northerners who didn’t rely on slave labor for their economy stayed put in the north where family and jobs coalesced into their melting pot cities where waves of immigrants with multiple cultural and racial differences worked side by side and found ways to tolerate one another until some homogeneity was achieved. This ingrained attitude of tolerance and acceptance for diversity fits well with the Democratic idea of equality, and more recently DEI.\n\nSelfishly though, I love warm beaches and sea breezes.

The frustration and angst this administration is already causing is a strong motivator.  Gotta do something', 'created': '2024-11-16 17:19:44', 'submission_id': '1gsoajf'}

{'comment': 'Well, the core MAGA obviously don’t care. And, apparently, a lot of other Republican voters also don’t care. \n\nBut I think a leader with strong rhetorical speaking abilities could at least sway some swing voters. Right now there simply isn’t anyone strong enough to even establish the basic civility and decency, allowing MAGA crowd to completely normalize things that were once outrageous. January 6th is now considered an event of peaceful protests with some minor isolated petty crimes, and apparently, no democrats has been successful in challenging that. Bernie seemed to have spoken out against strongly, Obama did towards the end of the campaign, but it wasn’t enough. \n\nSo, whose job was it to put Trump in his place? Biden? Harris? Pelosi? That’s the the main leadership. But no one is assuming any responsibility for anything and that’s a problem.\n\nWe’ve been told to have faith in the establishment and trust the process of status quo and we did.

{'comment': ">Once both parties give up on democracy, it’s gone for good.\n\nIf Biden decided to take extraordinary action against the MAGA leadership, rather than hand over the keys to the White House, that would not be giving up on democracy. That would be fighting for it.\n\n>That’s why the Democratic Party has to uphold rules and institutions even in dangerous moments like this.\n\nThe US Constitution is first and foremost a social contract which we all agree to support because we want a democracy. \n\nThroughout the election, Republicans acted in bad faith. And by electing a tyrant, they have broken that social contract. \n\nSo the idea that Democrats must then stay bound to an agreement that the other party backed out of, seems self-defeating. And it seems based on some ideological perspective about democracy that is fallacious. \n\nFor if you look at our founding forefathers, they fought against tyranny to establish this country. Having the leader of America democracy fight against tyranny to preserve our democracy is in the spirit of that.\n\nMoreover, Biden's oath is to protect and preserve the Constitution. How is he doing that by giving it over to Trump so that Trump can establish an authoritarian government?\n\nNo I'm not saying Biden has to do it. I'm not saying that he has the resources to do it.

{'comment': 'While some would argue we’d be better off had he won in 2020, I’d counter with a few points:\n\n1. Biden successfully presided over the “return to normal” from the pandemic—boosting vaccine production/rollout, keeping safety measures going until vaccination levels hit goal targets, etc. Trump would’ve continued his COVID skepticism and, once the pushback to vaccines started, probably would’ve discouraged vaccination. This would’ve kept the pandemic going longer.\n\n2. Biden pushed heavily for additional COVID relief, through the ARPA. Trump was done with that, so the economic recovery would’ve dragged longer, if it ever really kicked off.\n\n3. Biden and Senate Dems have been able to mitigate a lot of the harm done by Trump and the GOP in the judiciary. Another 2-4 years of GOP judicial appointments would’ve been disastrous.\n\nBasically, and 2021-24 Trump second term would’ve better locked-in the damage he did in his first term. Sure, electorally, Dems might have been positioned for big wins in ‘22 and ‘24, we don’t know.

AT least this way, there was 4 years of recovery and a little respite.  \n\nHe\'s going to have to build a lot from scratch - including his entire administration - rather than just rolling over from one term to next.  \n\nRemember the infighting that happened when McCarthy wanted to be speaker? Catching him on camera, if I remember right, saying "Please vote for me!".  I think that some of the confirmations are going to be that difficult - some may not actually be confirmed. \n\nTrump is now a lame duck.  Yes, he may try to stay in power at the end of 4 years - but that might be the final straw even for his most loyal minions.  That is IF he\'s still president.  I\'m not unconvinced that they might try to Amendment 25 him. JD Vance could run at that point.  But he\'s not the cult draw like Cheetolini. \n\nBut NO ONE at the top of the ticket seemed to think about the down ballot.  I think even Ted Cruz complained about that.   \n\nTwenty three Republican Senate seats will be up for grabs (21 seats with their regular terms up, 2 special elections - JD Vance\'s seat has to be filled and Marco Rubio will probably be confirmed).  It will be more if he picks other Senators for Cabinet positions. \n\nAll seats in the House are up for reelection in 2026. \n\nThere also seems to be an anti-incumbent bias, at least at the Presidential level.  It wouldn\'t be the first time that midterms were very disappointing for the party that had the White House.  2 years of either not getting shit done or doing shit like making headway on a national abortion ban or skyrocking grocery prices because all the agricultural workers have been deported isn\'t going to incentivize people to go vote for the GOP to remain in control of Congress.

{'comment': 'I was thinking that a few weeks ago. Now I’m not so sure. Here’s why: if you use the examples, everyone else is using, Germany, 1933, Russia, 2000, both were democracies in deep trouble. Germany’s economy had been in the dumps since the end of WWI, when massive war reparations bankrupted the country. The ripple effect from the Great Depression didn’t help. Russia, when Putin was elected back in the early 2000’s, had suffered a decade of political and economic kleptocracy. The collapse of the Soviet Union decimated the economy, and the Russian mob moved in to grab as much as they could. People were ready for anyone promising change, and both Hitler and Putin did exactly that.\n\nThe economy here is still strong, and there are still guard rails protecting democracy, here scattered among the house, and definitely in the courts. There will be a pretty strong pushback to anything crazy Trump tries. If he wants to go full autocrat or dictator, he’ll have to completely destabilize the economy, and that will cause chaos. I suppose he could declare martial law at that point. I don’t know if that’s part of the plan, but it would cost billions to the people supporting him, and turn his fans against him.\n\nWe’ll certainly see what happens, but I don’t think democracy is dead in America just yet. If it goes down, it’s going to be a long, hard-fought, protracted death, and a lot of people will turn against Trump in the process.', 'created': '2024-11-17 09:49:31', 'submission_id': '1gsnwce'}

She scheduled 2 months out and is going to call in a refill for me next month.\n So, she gave me time to get weed out of my system before the next appointment. Otherwise, she can\'t let me stay on the new meds.\n\n\nSo, that seemed weird, but again...

{'comment': 'They are going to be able to put a lot of their bullshit in place but nowhere near as much as they think they can in 2 years, even 4 years. This book is their wishlist. A dangerous wishlist. The issue for them though is that the Trump as President. The SCOTUS. His psychotic and really dumb / unqualified cabinet. The House and Senate Majority. All of these combined STILL cannot accomplish all of these especially in such a small time frame.\n\nThe truth here is that the first few ones are going to be implemented and all hell is gonna break loose in terms of global disagreements. Other countries will refuse to assist us, trade with us, share resources and at the end of the day - the billionaire support care more about the money than anything else.\n\nSure, you have the lunatics that want to resurrect zombie Hitler and shit but retaliation is going to bite this cabinet in the ass and they are going to be forced to back down on a lot. Another great example is tourism - soo much money comes in through this - when tourism is restricted.. a lot of them will change their tune.\n\nAlso, we are about to go into a huge amount of debt. Who is going to help us with that. What country will bail us out?\n\nI am not saying to not be concerned. Shit is about to get real and they are going to throw as much shit at the wall that sticks and a lot of people are in harms way. It pains me to think of all the people trapped in shit zones.\n\nThe truth, though- the REALITY is they are going to puff out their chests and they are going to globally get their asses handed to them. \n\nNo one in his cabinet knows the slightest idea how to do their jobs.\n\nThink of it this way, imagine Jared (more psychotic versions) got put into every cabinet position. They have their dicks in their hands. They will not know what to do in the event Europe says, "what you gonna about it?" \n\nTrump talks too much. This entire Republican Party does. \n\nRealistically, expect 2 years of hell and the next 2 years of stopping the bleeding because they can\'t do everything they want to do in that time. That\'s ambitious at best.\n\nAlso, keep in mind: the Republicans in fight all the time. They will turn on each other and I consider the cabinet that is being selected that same as 2016: "the first round of fires in a terrible stagging decision".\n\nI strongly encourage anyone that took the time to read this and sit and that (thank you if you read it) reflect on what matters around you, plan for struggles, protect the ones you love, be your best.

Democrats need a way to turn people out based on emotion, because arguing on policy isn\'t cutting it.  \n\nToo many people lack the critical thinking skills or desire to research policy.   Have you ever seen people share blatantly false propaganda on Facebook which can easily be debunked with a 2 second Google search?  Congratulations, you\'ve met the average American voter. \n\nWhen presented neutrally, people favor Democratic policies (as we saw in the abortion guarantees, minimum wage increases, and other Dem policies voted in by red states).  We need to start talking to people with very simple messaging and turn people out based on emotion.

{'comment': 'I know this is exit polling but I wish there was some raw numbers from it. For instance, it shows that the last minute deciders broke heavily for Trump, but does that represent the difference of 100,000 voters or just 100?\n\nBut aside from that, we should look at what is statistically relevant. Avoid anything that says 54% because that response is almost certainly within the margin of error, or a statistical tie. There are others that I could highlight but for the sake of brevity lets look at just these:\n\n* 77% – Democrats aren’t tough enough on the border crisis\n* 73% – Democrats “don’t know how to manage the economy”\n* 75% – Democrats “are too focused on fighting Trump rather than bringing the country together”\n\nThat massive. Almost 1/5 undecided voters thought we were wrong on the top issues of the election: economy and border/immigration, and wrong about the threat that Trump himself posed. We gauged the electorate *terribly*. Point blank.\n\nIs most poignant. [Gallup released a poll a few days before the election. ](https://news.gallup.com/poll/652970/economy-immigration-abortion-democracy-driving-voters.aspx)Scrolling down about a 1/4 page to "Most Important Factor in Registered Voters\' Presidential Vote" you see that for Democratic voters, abortion, protecting democracy, and a particular dislike of Trump were the top 3 motivating factors. For Republicans it was economy, immigration, and inflation (economy 2.0). All registered voters was economy by a lot, immigration, and abortion. \n\nRight off the bat, our own voters didn\'t match the electorate on 2 of the top 3. \n\nWhich is why I\'d then argue that this part in the Blueprint link...\n\n>**Trust Crisis**: Only 22% of swing voters who broke for Trump believed Harris prioritized “Americans like me” versus party activists—a stark contrast with the 80% who said Trump prioritizes “Americans like me” over party activists.\n\n...suggests that we are in fact being driven by our activists and core base, than listening/responding to the electorate. I\'d further argue that voters who ranked abortion, protecting democracy, and a dislike of Trump were locked in with us as far back as at least 2022. Nothing was going to move them away from Kamala; we needed to win the economy and immigration voter.\n\nAnd so, avoiding actually talking about those issues, having every other word out of our mouth be "fascism" did us no service. \n\nWe needed to actually provide a menu of reasons to vote for us beyond just "but Trump is the *wooooorst.* Also, abortion... which by the way Trump took away."\n\nWe-- actually the senior campaign staff-- did it to ourselves.', 'created': '2024-11-16 00:07:50', 'submission_id': '1gs7f18'}

{'comment': 'As someone else already pointed out, the title is clickbaity and the article doesn\'t really live up to it, but some of the comments in the article really illustrate why Democrats will always have to beg and plead for every last vote.   \n  \n>  “You can’t claim to represent the values of your base and then ignore them. You’re not going to win—and that’s exactly what happened.”  \n  \nDemocrats *don\'t have a base.*  This is a big tent party.  Republicans have a base, and their base wants people like the ones living in Dearborn dead.  Democrats have potentially everyone who isn\'t a Republican, but that\'s a huge gamut of different groups of people, many of which are at severe odds with each other.  So when this woman says "you can\'t ignore your base and expect to win," I feel like she thinks she\'s the base and they should form their entire platform around what she thinks is right.    \n  \nSorry, no offense, but Muslims in Dearborn Michigan are a tiny minority of the potential Democratic voting bloc.  There are several other groups, groups without which Democrats CANNOT win, who want to see Israel continue to receive support and consider Hamas a terrorist threat that needs to be eliminated.  If the party leaned fully into the foreign policy this woman is calling for, I don\'t think you can argue that would result in a net gain of votes.    \n  \nThis is just a microcosm of the larger scope of the party\'s total platform across all issues, and what we have gotten ourselves into is a situation where the Democratic party, essentially a coalition party, has seen such a deep divide form between its center and left partitions that it is now effectively impossible to earn votes from one group without losing votes from the other.  This rift will be difficult to heal as each side becomes less open to compromise and more strictly attached to their issue of choice.  So you get people refusing to budge on things like immigration, Palestine, or student loans and while they don\'t vote Republican, they do the next best thing which is vote third party or stay home.    \n  \nThis is horrifyingly similar to Germany in the 1930s.  We are literally repeating those mistakes as if we\'re following a set of instructions.  Hitler came to power in Germany not because a majority of Germans elected him, but because the centrist and socialist Germans became largely convinced that they were each other\'s greatest enemies and became stubbornly opposed to any form of compromise with each other whatsoever.  Ultimately each group\'s voters decided in numbers big enough to matter that the other side would do well to learn a lesson from letting the fascists run things for a while.  See how that feels then come back to the table when you\'re ready to start giving in to our demands (both sides of the opposition were guilty of this).  \n  \nNobody was remotely prepared for the actual weight of that lesson.  A decade of death and destruction on a scale difficult to comprehend and not seen before or since followed, after which Germans would spend 40 years without their own country, residents of two proxy states separated by a figurative and literal wall, families torn apart for decades, young men dead of old age before seeing their home restored.  The people who had thought that was a lesson worth teaching died before the lesson ended, either violently or after a long slow limbo of international shame.  \n  \nBut good news.  They didn\'t have nukes when they elected fascism, nor did they have to deal with imminent climate change.  So we likely won\'t meet the same fate they did.

The fact is, entire voting blocks felt alienated by the Democrat's message and just simply didn't vote.

Give up, let them deconstruct the country, literally part of their plan. \n\nIt\'s not hopeless unless we give up. That is obeying in advance. This was the turning point for me, from a Rolling Stone article a few days ago:\n\nTimothy Snyder is a Yale professor of totalitarian European history and author of\xa0[*On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century*](https://archive.is/o/zjD3a/https://books.google.com/books/about/On_Tyranny.html?id=3z7cDQAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&source=kp_read_button&hl=en&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0%23v=onepage&q&f=false). "You can’t despair,” he tells\xa0*Rolling Stone*. “**Because that’s what they want. They want you to think that it’s hopeless.** It’s never hopeless.”\n\nSnyder’s first rule in\xa0*On Tyranny*\xa0is “don’t obey in advance.”\xa0\n\nSnyder insists the key is “to get out in protest” — now and through the inauguration. The understandable impulse of “keeping your head in,” Snyder says will only embolden Trump’s reactionary team. “You’re giving them even more confidence that they’re gonna be able to do what they want in January.” What’s demanded of activists in this moment is to “deflate that confidence,” Snyder says, and you do that by “showing that you’re not afraid, by cooperating with your neighbors, and by organizing.”\n\nI won\'t paste the entire article.

When Putin campaigned for president in 2000, his slogan was “Dictatorship of the Law.”\n\nReading Magyar’s writing about that period, I was struck most of all by the mood that seemed to accompany Orban’s actions. We all remember it from Trump’s first term, this sense of everything happening all at once and the utter impossibility of focusing on the existentially threatening, or distinguishing it from the trivial — if that distinction even exists. It’s not just what the autocrats do to stage their breakthrough, it’s how they do it: passing legislation (or signing executive orders) fast, without any discussion, sometimes late at night, in batches, all the while denigrating and delegitimizing any opposition.', 'created': '2024-11-15 16:50:09', 'submission_id': '1grzcez'}

He sees the president-elect’s appeal in terms of something more primal: “Trump promises that you don’t have to think about other people.”\n\nWith this bullshit opening, why should I read the rest of the article? \n\nBiden's administration was full of initiatives that solved problems. Harris offered more problem solving. \n\nThe problem was people couldn't hear what Democrats were doing anymore.

{'comment': 'Lead Paragraphs:\n\nDonald Trump’s US presidential election victory has sparked a new round of speculation over the possibility of a compromise deal with the Kremlin to end the war in Ukraine. Many commentators are convinced that some form of Ukrainian territorial concessions are now inevitable. Others insist that trading land for peace is Kyiv’s only option to exit a devastating conflict that is threatening to destroy the Ukrainian nation.\n\nThese arguments are certainly not without merit, but anyone now calling for a negotiated settlement that grants Russia control over large parts of Ukraine must also consider the consequences of such an historic step. If the Ukrainian authorities are forced to cede land in exchange for peace, Vladimir Putin’s entire invasion will be legitimized and his imperial appetite will only grow. The West may succeed in securing a temporary respite at Ukraine’s expense, but the threat of an expansionist Russia will remain and the ultimate cost of stopping Putin will only rise.', 'created': '2024-11-15 16:29:51', 'submission_id': '1gryvxw'}

If China actually got control over those factories, they would have a monopoly on advanced semiconductors for a few years at least, which would make them immensely powerful.\n\nThat's why the factories have kill switches.

This I do actually partially agree with in principle, however, people are going to realize right quick that said pesticides are what keep food as whole and intact as possible in the time it takes to go from farm to table. A better strategy would be to fund and push for less indiscriminately environmentally impactful pesticide that are more targeted to the worst offenders but don’t destroy ecosystems.

I always wondered.. how the f.. did a massive powerful nation like Germany fall into the hands of psychopaths who went on to murder millions of jews.. infront of their faces... it always boggled my mind back in 2004ish.. I was like how could a nation alienate its own people,  point them out for round up, fight for a cause of pure  nationality and themselves not even pure of "pure Aryan" race.\n\nAnd it took not even 20 years for my own eyes to see the answer... when they say history repeats its self.. there is nothing more true.\n\nMore then 70% of this nation has forgotten my own great grandfather immigrated from mexico in 1930s and went on fight in ww2 and fight ALL the way to Burma india... a Mexican immigrant who spoke little English was in Burma India fighting a mixture of both Japanese axis and German troops protecting the railroads.. battles un documented almost.. and he came back and was so proud to be given his citizenship.. and for what? For not even 100 years later his entire nation to call his blood "ruining this country"..\n\nNote: he went on to live to 97 and raise 3 daughters and marry his wife who was blind from the age of 15.   When I asked him about his time in war he only told me once and when we got to any part of battles he would stare into space and quiver, mumble in Spanish.. and almost break down. He saw fierce combat for years fighting along side our Alies \n\nI\'m infuriated that I have to visit a national cemetery in riverside California to visit a man who risked everything for a nation that wants to build a wall, and deport them.\n\nIn the end.

Our media feels it has more of an obligation to be reporters as opposed to truth tellers.

Now, some dolt reads some trash on some website that "the government doesn\'t want you to know" and believes they\'re the truly well-informed.

{'comment': 'The problem we are facing is deeper than that. We live in what I call the Age of Denialism. And that has been brought about due to people losing their ability to trust one another. Our empathy for each other is at a low. And this lack of trust extends to institutions such as science, medicine, and government. The social contract is dying. The solution is not an easy or quick one. We need to reach out and connect with others. We need to build trust between us. We need to reach out and help others. And in this way we can try to rebuild things. \n\nHowever we have aspects of modern society that work against this. Work environments compress so many things into a day due to all the time saving devices and concepts. But because Corporations have to constantly make more money everything gets compressed rather than easier. And the human mind is not built for such rapid switching between tasks that come with this compression. So people go home from a day of work stressed out of their gourd and incapable of connecting to family or friends. Often even into the weekend. \n\nAnd then there are factors such as corporations deliberately trying to muddy the institutions of science and medicine because both of them can bring light to problems in their products. So their solution to this is to throw opposing claims of science at the issues and confuse the public. Undermining confidence is the institutions. \n\nAnd politicians have learned to play the same game. Throwing word salad at people to confuse them into resignation. \n\nThere is a lot of work to do to correct the course this nation is on. We are coming apart at the seems.

Most red states are like this too, but the difference between the two is blue states actively try to attract wealthy individuals while red states invite businesses.\n\nUntil the democratic party gets it in it's head that it's always, always, always, economy first, they will lose elections.\n\nHonestly, at this point I can't see the democratic party getting it together for another 8 years minimum unless there is a colossal fuck up under trump (possible, happened last time).\n\nBut really the democratic party is broken. The Republican party is/was, but has actively been remade into the MAGA party and say what you will about it, they are actively trying to go somewhere - the democratic party simply has not - too many cooks in the kitchen.\n\nAs an independent who lived in Chicago for 20 years, who now lives in a red state - let me tell you guys the brutal truth.\n\nFolks are moving to red states because thats where there are opportunities. The failed economic policies that the democrats have grabbed onto for nearly 30 years, have finally destroyed them. Ask anyone who is not a party member of the democrats - or a republican, what they think of New York City, what they think of Philly, of Chicago, Detroit, Atlanta, San Francisco, San Diego, - look for the unbiased perspectives. Even the folks that love those cities, ask them the hard questions - what sort of economic opportunities are here for the underserved? The underprivileged? The last election proved that. It's now on the democrats to decide - do they want to be the minority party, or do they want to embrace economic populism before the GOP does? Because the GOP hasn't yet really embraced it. There is still time.\n\nYeah, downvote me- instead of asking yourself - why are they moving and when they arrive, do you think these ex-citizens of California that had to move because of work are going to support californian style politics? Or do you think they'll want something new?\n\nLet me tell you - Texas is expensive as hell in the cities, and not the paradise that a lot of Republicans make it out to be. I have very good points here and you are foolish if you ignore them. (Just today I met someone who left his 6 figure tech job in Dallas to move to South Carolina for a manufacturing position because the cost of living is better - he makes less money but has twice as much to spend thanks to Republican wealthy-oriented Dallas taxes, owning homes in Texas is becoming nigh-impossible unless you want to live in the boondocks for people who are trying to lift themselves up).

It's why people flee the state pissed off at Democratic governance and spiteful towards those of us who remain.\n\nAgain, I empathize with Texas Democrats who probably like to use this talking point as you try to win elections.\n\nBut I promise you that if you are truly progressive, if you truly care about working people, you would be better off letting Republicans continue to win elections than to use the promise of lower property taxes to turn the state Democratic. You will be creating a class of elite, liberal gentry, and that is NOT the path to longterm success for Texans, nor for Texas' Democrats.", 'created': '2024-11-15 20:22:47', 'submission_id': '1gregr6'}
{'comment': 'In one breath you say it is better to have property taxes and no state income tax, and in the next you say we should...and I cannot believe I am hearing this, vote Republican than argue for lower property taxes.\n\nIt is obvious you aren\'t from Texas because the giant land owners here are all Republican. Texas is probably 60% farming land, ranches, government owned areas, and parcels of land that no one is ever going to develop. \n\nFor those of us in the cities, property taxes, combined with high sales tax, gas tax, and other "sin taxes" that they have put in place, generate billions of dollars for the government, yet still they do not invest that money back into the state beyond the bare minimum.\n\nI know the cost of everything is higher in California, but that is a real estate issue, not a tax issue. You have a scarcity of resources, too many people who want those resources, and a society that actually tries to help its people. That is not cheap.\n\nI would, 100%, gladly trade all of the taxes I pay now for a 10% state income tax.', 'created': '2024-11-15 22:06:03', 'submission_id': '1gregr6'}
{'comment': 'It’s obvious that I’m not from Texas? Did you figure that one out when I said I was from California?\n\nI would be thrilled to see Texas Democrats work for a land value tax, which would be much more fair to urban Texans than the Property Tax, but taxing labor as a replacement for taxing land is an ass backwards thing to do for the party of the working class.\n\nDo it, if ya’all would like. You may buy off enough homeowners to secure a few generations of electoral success.\n\nBut you will enjoy enormous inflation, a giant housing shortage, and increased poverty as your award. And I will shit talk your party until I die, just as I shit talk the Democratic Party here in California.\n\nIf Democrats want to be the Party of the Working Class, we need to have their backs.', 'created': '2024-11-15 22:37:35', 'submission_id': '1gregr6'}
{'comment': 'You can shit talk whatever you want, I don\'t think anyone cares, at least I don\'t. \n\nYour argument is a weird one, and the phrasing is off too. \n\nYou don\'t sound like a Democrat, but you do sound like a Libertarian pretending to be a Democrat? \n\nI get that taxes are not fun, but they are a necessity in any society that has some social structure to it.\n\nIn Texas, we pay, estimating here, about 15% in taxes from property, sales, and all other forms of taxes.\n\nSales tax unjustly punish the poor, disabled, and the elderly at a much higher impact rate than it does the middle-class and up. \n\nIf I am on a limited income, there is no barrier in place for me to not pay that sales tax. I can file a homestead exemption for property taxes to get them reduced, and if I am over 65, I can get them reduced a little bit more. But I am required to pay something.\n\nIf a person makes $1200.00 a month on social security, and their property taxes are $2300.00 a year, after reductions, that takes up almost 2 full months of income. Then they still have to pay sales tax, road tax, sin taxes, etc. \n\nIf I make $8000 a month with a full-time job, same neighborhood, and my property taxes are $4000 a year, that is about 2 weeks worth of work for me.\n\nIf I had a state income tax of 10%, I only have to pay $9600 a year total. That means no sales tax for the grocery store, no taxes on any big purchases, no water taxes, gas taxes, sin taxes, nothing.  That is one month worth of work and a part of a week of another.\n\nThe person on social security gets 2 months of her pay back in her pocket and she can continue to live in her home and put food on her table.\n\nSo by screwing over the elderly and disabled, we can, what was it, "be the party of the working class"\n\nBeing a Democrat is about more than being for the workers. It is about taking care of those who cannot care for themselves, helping them get their feet under them, and helping them move forward. \n\nIt means standing up and doing what is right when everyone else is content to watch people suffer. \n\nIt means doing the right thing, even if you are going to be uncomfortable in the process.\n\nIt means we do not harm one group, just to favor other groups, because it might be financially expedient or "look good" down the road.', 'created': '2024-11-16 17:39:16', 'submission_id': '1gregr6'}

We keep thinking Senate Republicans are going to grow some sort of spine and hold on to whatever little dignity or principles they may have to push back against this insanity but I’ve seen precious little evidence that this will ever happen.\n\nPretty much any Republican who has resisted Trump in the past has either eventually bent the knee or been kicked out of the party. The ones that have stood by him have been massively rewarded. What incentive is there for them to resist him now?

They embrace anti-science rhetoric nonsense, racism, misogyny, chaos, rage, fear mongering and voted for him not despite but BECAUSE of his felony convictions and sexual harassment charges and massaging a microphone and bizarre angry racist behavior.

It’s honestly a laughable fix to the housing crisis. How long until housing raises 5% and that 25k is really nothing, historically raises more than 5% a year.\n\nAnd again when people are buying houses they’re generally stable, that’s not addressing the people who are actually struggling and can only pay rent.\nI know a lot of people around age 30, the only people able to live alone are people with 2 jobs to pay rent, the highest education people, or couples. Otherwise essentially all young people and low earners are struggling and I feel bad about the people who lose their place and have to find a new place costing double the rent compared to 10 years ago so now they’re homeless or living with parents.\n\n“ the cost of living rarely goes down, greedy landlords and corporations don’t care about people”\n\nRight, so it’s Kamala’s fault that she didn’t come out and say “I’ve heard you the people and I see the housing crisis” I will do my best even if it upsets the corporations to make affordable housing a reality for the hardworking people of the USA, it is my mission that everyone working a full time job will be able to live without having to work 2 jobs, and I will do whatever I can to make life livable for these people” \nIt’s her fault she didn’t do something like this courting people struggling, so guess what, they bought into the message of “the people in charge are doing a horrible job” and it sticks because for example she said she couldn’t think of anything she would’ve done differently the last 4 years.\n\nIt’s Kamala’s job to care about the people and be their voice', 'created': '2024-11-14 20:30:43', 'submission_id': '1graf6u'}

{'comment': 'Actually Trump only got about the same number of votes as he did in 2020, so those same people did indeed want him to win, but it was the 8 million who had voted for Biden but didn’t vote for Harris that handed him the election. I’m not sure how we wrap our heads around that.\n\nMany Patriotic Republicans obviously left Trump after Jan 6. Many Patriotic independents left him as well. And so did many veterans after he disparaged them. And Puerto Ricans and Haitians that he disparaged left him as well. And many women who were affected by Roe getting overturned left him also. Yet somehow he gets 2 million more votes than he did 4 years prior. And Harris gets 8 million less than Biden. None of this makes any sense.\n\nYou say we need to focus on “eroding” that, but it was eroded. So how does he gain votes? The math doesn’t work. Not at all.\n\nTrump clearly lost voters. Yet he somehow didn’t. Kamala gained former Trump supporters. Yet she got 8 million less votes than Biden. There is no way to logically explain this. \n\nEven if those people who left Trump didn’t vote for Harris then where did the 8 million that voted for Biden go? And how does Trump get 2 million more if he lost votes?\n\nSo Warren is right that something smells fishy, but the stink started before the transition team. I’m no conspiracy nut. I’m the opposite.

{'comment': "Well the first mechanism to prevent this would be to have the Electoral College refuse to elect him President. That's the entire point of the thing to be a safety check in case the American people elect a potential tyrant. But electors haven't worked that way in well over 150 years. Then another mechanism is to have Congress refuse the results and elect someone else, but Congress is full of people loyal to the man and not the country. Then finally, Congress could remove him once as he takes power, but again loyal to the man, not the country. Finally the Supreme Court was designed to remain completely neutral and would always side with the Constitution and preventing any branch from gaining too much power could limit the damage, but they have been compromised as well. \n\nBut the framers of the Constitution never dreamed that a party would be more loyal to a man than the country itself and never installed any real consequences should a president become a tyrant. They believed that there would always be enough people in the government who would act in good faith, and people would instead remain loyal to their home states needs. They also thought that while the Federal government was of a higher authority, it could never be used against the individual states.\n\nThis has happened before. Andrew Jackson was a bomb to the established government that was still on shaky ground and upended everything while destroying the economy and trampling rights. But the only silver lining was that Jackson still loved the country itself and believed what he was doing was for the betterment of the nation. Trump is just burning it down to establish himself as a dictator. The only thing that can resist him is the bureaucracy of the Federal government, which is what generally blunted his damage last time, so he is specifically attempting to target that first.", 'created': '2024-11-14 18:22:42', 'submission_id': '1gr7iwb'}

{'comment': 'Personal anecdote: the CFPB is an invaluable resource against scammers of all sorts. \n\nI have been targeted over the years by a lot of dishonest "collectors" who tried to scare me / scam me into paying for a nonexistent debt. One was from a company calling themselves "Regional Mediation Bureau."  \n\nThe scam goes like this: "YOU\'RE ABOUT TO GET SUED."  \n\nHere’s how they suckered me:\n\n1. Told me that he was a “courier” who is on their way to my house to serve me papers because I’m being sued for some debt I might have. \n2. Advised me that I can call the law firm suing me to make a deal so I don’t have to go to court.\n3. He transfers the call. The “law firm” takes over, tells me they are just mediators (Regional Mediation Bureau), they can’t do anything… but wait, maybe we can talk to the lawyer. Your debt is $12,101, we can accept half of that, $6,000. Can you do that? \n3. The debt was something vaguely familiar, I thought we had paid it off through consumer credit counseling years ago. But this guy was telling me that no, it wasn’t paid and probably they were taking it to court before the statute of limitations was up. \n4. Said they had sent me letters about this previously but had not gotten a response, so there was no recourse but a lump settlement. \n5. Sent me an official looking “Bill of Lading” that supposedly proved the debt. \n6. Said the offer was only good for today. \n\nI’m not a stupid person. But I emptied my savings account to pay it off because I was afraid to go to court. I actually felt good about it at the time. I had had terrible debt and terrible credit in my younger years, and I was just starting to have enough to make ends meet. Getting rid of an old debt felt like the right thing to do. \n\nBut then, a year later, another person called trying to collect the same debt. Not the exact same dollar amount, but the same creditor. I told him I’d already paid it and he got abusive. (I kept trying to calm *him* down, if you can believe it.) It was all a ploy. I hung up on him, and none of his threats about cops showing up at me door came true. \n\nAnd then, months later, Regional Mediation Bureau called again, same tactic, telling me he was a courier on the way to my house, etc. this time the creditor was for a Mastercard for a bank in Hong Kong. I said I’d never owned a Mastercard.  I said why don’t you send me something that proves that I owe the debt. They sent me the same bullshit Bill of Lading, which, it turns out, doesn’t prove anything, it’s just an invoice for a made up debt. \n\nThe guy tried to tell me they’d sent me correspondence but that was a lie. He made me a special settlement offer that was only good for today.  He told me if I didn’t respond then they’d send police to my house. But he gave my old address m. I’d moved to a different state a year ago. The scammer was using my old area code, though. I looked up the number and found it was from a small rural village, way the hell out in the middle of nowhere: a strange place to run a collections agency.  It was obviously a spoofed number they used to convince me to answer my phone. \n\nI told them they were required by law to provide me proof of the debt. They said the Bill of Lading was proof enough. I declined to pay them. Spitting threats, they hung up on me. \n\nAnd the cops, unsurprisingly, did not bust down my door. \n\nThese people are scum. They prey on the meek, the poor, the fearful. These tactics seem plausible if you have never heard them before. A bill of Lading? Sounds official. Heading off a lawsuit? Getting the cops involved? Offer expires at midnight? Collecting on an old debt you don’t quite remember?  Claiming to have sent correspondence (is it somewhere in those piles of unopened letters in my junk room?  Did I throw it away by accident?) Claiming a much higher balance so that they could cut it in half and offer a “settlement”? \n\nThis is all scripted. And these scammers have no intention of following through on their threats. You are a line item on a spreadsheet, and if you hang up they move on to the next row. These lists of debtors are freely bought and sold among collectors, and they do not update the list if someone settles a debt. \n\n—-\n\nI will say one thing: the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau website has a ton of useful information that was tremendously helpful in fending these people off. \n\nA real collector will have no problem providing proof of a debt, and they won’t get mad about it. If the debt is real, the facts are on their side. \n\nhttps://www.consumerfinance.gov', 'created': '2024-11-14 21:36:49', 'submission_id': '1gr7iwb'}

It worked in the 90s because people still watched the news, and read newspapers. Now, if you can’t catch someone’s attention in a 10 second catchy soundbite, it gets lost. \n\nThat, more than anything else, let Trump win. Don’t say, “the problem when talking about inflation is that it’s actually …”, say “Our inflation is caused by greedy corporations and I will make them lower prices”. Everything after that first sentence only matters to people who are already going to vote. \n\nIn general, the Democratic party has to get less wordy and more firm on “I will fix this” messaging if they want to win over blue collar workers (the largest demographic in the US).

(He\'s been promising a better healthcare plan since 2016, and eight years later the only details we\'ve gotten are "I have a concept of a plan.")\n\nThe average uneducated voter is just glad to hear a "solution," even if it doesn\'t hold up to two seconds of scrutiny - that\'s about two seconds more than the voters are willing to give it.

{'comment': "There are a lot of Catholics on the Supreme Court. But most Catholics are not Christian nationalists.\n\nWe need to get out of the habit of thinking that being conservative and being Christian automatically means Christian nationalist. It can, but it doesn't necessarily. You can absolutely take a conservative understanding of the Constitution (e.g., textualism) and be a Christian, while also believing that our nation was founded as a secular one with no establishment of religion.\n\nI've been noticing this trend of thought within left and center-left circles within the past several months and it's just not true. In some cases it is, but in many cases it is not. We like to put people in boxes when reality is much more nuanced.\n\nIf the Supreme Court were interested in establishing some sort of Christian nationalist state, they wouldn't have ruled in favor of LGBT rights in *Bostock*. In that case, textualists (who are usually conservative) applied a very straightforward logic to the reading of the Constitution and concluded that it violates Title VII to treat a man who's married to a man different from a woman who's married to a man. Of course, liberals would agree, but they'd likely take a different approach to get there.\n\nThat said, I do think that Alito and Thomas have really sketchy interpretations of the Constitution that somehow always find a way to lend itself to positions espoused by Christian nationalists. But they're only 2 justices out of 9. The only new conservative justice since the above decision is Amy Coney Barrett and she's actually turned out to be a relatively fair arbiter of the Constitution. She's likely another example of someone who has a conservative approach to the Constitution and is religious in her personal life, but doesn't appear to let that bias her judgment.", 'created': '2024-11-14 10:03:31', 'submission_id': '1gqsfst'}

Im pretty sure Andy knows this because he did a great job of shaming the behavior of armed protestors who were totally threatening and harrassing his family during COVID.\n\neven then, when his family was being menaced by dudes with guns he only talked about their despicable behavior and went out of his way not to even talk about guns.

{'comment': 'The President can make recess appointments if the Senate recesses for (I think) 10+ days.

So if they did a bunch of recess appointments in January they’d be good through the end of 2026. Also, I’m not sure how it works once the recess appointment “expires”? Are they ousted until approved by the Senate? Or do they just become the “acting” [role] and carry on as before? If the Senate quickly recesses again before the midterms can he re-recess-appoint the same people he already recess appointed?\n\nApparently for like twenty years they’ve been making sure at least one Senator is banging the gavel in chambers every 3 days so no Presidents can get recess appointments.

{'comment': 'So Thune was the one guy Trump did not want to be the leader of the Senate. He wanted Kelly who is a Trump loyalist. Trump called Thune a "RINO" or "Republican in Name Only" - meaning that he is closer to a Democrat, but that is not true in any way. Thune is a Republican, but he is not an extremist, so yes, there is some hope there that he will not back down to what Trump wants all the time.\n\nYes, the Senate wants to do their jobs. They are the ones who vote on appointees, like the AG of the US, and other very, critically, important positions. They do not want Trump to over-reach his power, by using recess appointments, where he can bypass the Senate debate about someone he wants to put in office. Kelly was willing to allow the recess appointments, the rest of the Senate was not.\n\nYes, the Senate has to worry about their jobs and keeping the majority. In two years we have mid-terms, and in those elections, there are, I think, 13 seats up for grabs. If the Senate goes crazy pushing everything Trump wants through to law, most of them will lose their seats and they want to avoid that at all cost. Politics is a slow burn game, not a hurry up and do everything all at once.  Trump does not understand that, so he is trying to get a bunch of things shoved through at one time, on his first day in office, and he is not going to get to do most of it.\n\nAs far as anything happening to Trump, the alternative is JD Vance and he is much sharper than Trump is, but he is about as likeable as a rubbing your crotch on a cactus. The danger with him is that he is sneaky smart and eloquent, and would be able to make more traction on Project 2025 than Trump will.  Trump is going to fire every single one of the people he has already appointed, most of them before this time next year. There is little he enjoys more than firing people, and that will keep his administration dysfunctional. Vance would not have that problem.\n\nThere is hope over the next 4 years. We have mid-terms coming up and we need everyone to get out a vote. We need to give Congress back to the Democrats so they can stall Trump\'s hostile takeover of the government. We have good people on both side of the aisle in both Chambers of Congress. Not everyone is a Trump loyalist who is chomping at the bit to crash the economy and send us into another Great Depression. There are some very intelligent and powerful people in Washington DC who can beat Trump behind the scenes. They will have to concede some lower end losses, but they can keep most everything else the same as it is today. Whether or not they WILL do it, is another story, but don\'t lose hope. At the end of the day, most of the people in Congress do not care who you voted for, if you call them, they will try their best to help you. \n\nI am as scared about the next 4 years as anyone. But, I am a straight, white, male, in Texas, and I honestly do not have a lot to worry about personally. My concern is for my wife and kids and what kind of world we are creating, and leaving behind, for them. \n\nTrump has made it okay for racist, misogynist, homophobic asshats to crawl out of the woodwork and openly scream their bullshit from the rooftops.\n\nAll we can do is fight the fight in front of us. We have to vote. We have to educate, not only ourselves, but those around us. We have to be the example of what we want the world to be. It is going to be easy to give into hate and depression over these next few years, but you have to fight it. It will get better.', 'created': '2024-11-14 20:43:27', 'submission_id': '1gqpv96'}

To date, Americans and the West have decided that the answer is that it is better for us to have cheap consumerable goods made in China, knowing the conditions under which said goods are produced in.\n\nThe more pressing question is what will the U.S. government do in response to rising costs if onshoring begins/imports decline? The cost of goods will go up, either due to the sudden drop in supply (loss of imports) or due to the higher cost of domestic production. Consumers will reduce spending accordingly. How will the government react? Will they deregulate our labor laws and environmental standards to help lower costs, or will they let things settle naturally, therefore forcing tens of millions of Americans into desperation and poverty? \n\nEither option, life for the average American will quickly resemble the life of a factory worker in China or Mexico—either our rights and protections are taken from us, or we’re plunged into a recession and poverty rates increase.', 'created': '2024-11-14 21:44:58', 'submission_id': '1gqn017'}

{'comment': 'It’s like 98% guaranteed at this point for Rs to get 218+ seats, which is enough to “call” it. I watch these elections very closely. Ds are basically out of it for getting the majority. \n\nThe remaining question is how big the R majority will be. 219–222 are still realistically on the table, with the smart money being on the middle of that range (220 or 221). If I had to guess on the median outcome at the moment, and I could only pick one number, I would say Rs end up with 221 seats.\n\nThis is a good chart: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/11/06/us/elections/results-house-races-tracker.html?unlocked_article_code=1.Zk4.G3UB.LZK3GaK4vmMg&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare.\n\nBut remember that most of the outstanding California seats are slowly trending D, as the remaining ballots are counted. It’s not clear whether that will be enough. In CA45, it seems like it will. CA13 could go either direction. CA41 looks like a long shot at this point.\n\nEngel and Peltola are toast. Bohannan’s race will be going to a recount I believe, but that is unlikely to change the result. You can reasonably expect all 3 of these to go to the Rs.\n\nOn the other side, considering races where Ds lead, Kaptur is going to a recount, I believe. But again, it’s unlikely to change the results. Golden still needs the RCV tabulation. This one is actually the most likely to flip of all the ones that have a current D lead. That being said, it’s probably still lean-Golden. All the other D leads are pretty secure, and will likely be called soon-ish.\n\nUPDATE: AP called CA41 for the Rs.

{'comment': 'Purging Generals is Dictator stuff 101! Create some sort a sham council that “finds cause” and then use that as an excuse to get rid of them.  \n\nTrump already has the legislative branch under his thumb because the Republicans will not oppose him. The Supreme Court won’t restrict him and has already ruled that he has immunity. He has already sowed the seeds of distrust in the press by labeling everything that is critical of him as fake news. And nowadays with Social media he can bypass the free press, plus he has X/Twitter thanks to Elon. \n\nThe military is the last bastion of power. This is his move to control that. \n\nI guarantee you, he is going start some stupid stuff like give a militarily stupid order. Not illegal per se, just ill advised.  Some military general is going to advise against it. He will see that as a mark of disloyalty and that triggers the purge. Or some external event, heaven forbid like Sept. 11th, will trigger a completely disproportionate response leading to war. \n\nMan!

He was born into immense wealth and has taken credit for other people's work his entire life. He needs the government to see him as a top ally, and Trump wants to be Elon Musk so bad he can hardly stand it, so it is a win-win for him. The more loyalty he shows for Trump, the more money is going into his pocket. He does not care what happens to anyone else in America as long as he is getting money. \n\nSo, he will peddle bullshit to get Trump on his side, have Trump hand him billions in kickbacks and contracts for his support, and continue to amass wealth.\n\n  \nOn the other hand, you have common sense telling you that undocumented people cannot vote, anywhere. Even if they become citizens, there is no guarantee they are going to vote Democrat. \n\nYou need to look at motivation of argument before you start asking if something is true or not.\n\nNow, are the Republicans trying to grow more supporters? Absolutely they are. That is why they make all the high school kids pray before football games, reinforce God in everything they touch, want to open the doors to school vouchers and get kids into private schools as fast as they can. The fastest way to do this is to deny women the right to an abortion, stop paying for birth control, and force them to have as many babies as possible. This will lead to a huge following of conservative principles because all those children will be brought up in this environment.\n\nSchool vouchers are a great weapon against the poor and minority students because private schools do not have to take anyone they do not want, or cannot pass their entrance exam, or are not a legacy student. They get the money from the state, but no the students they do not want.\n\nInvariably, the public schools become overwhelmingly minority with little to no money for funding to keep good teachers and administrators in the schools. These schools fail over and over when they lose the money and the government gets to come in and close those schools down, forcing those attending into terrible private schools or they end up dropping out and the positive outcomes for those kids is not good.\n\nThis is already ongoing in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana and other states in the South. School vouchers are next and the final pin in their plan will be complete. All they have to do is sit back and watch it happen.\n\nTo date, over 26,000 women and girls have had to have their SA's child because of the lack of abortion care. We have had multiple women die as a result of these laws. \n\nThis is just the beginning and we aren't even to Christmas yet.", 'created': '2024-11-13 17:08:34', 'submission_id': '1gq6ky0'}

Moon connected himself to lot of Republicans and THE WASHINGTON TIMES, which is still owned by Operations Holdings-- a part of the Unification Church movement. Moon brought his movement from Korea to the US and they recruited LOTS of people here.  Family members who had the resources would hire private "de-programmers" to kidnap their loved ones and reel them back in from the spell.  I remember having a de-programming house set up a couple of doors down from my house when I was a kid. Some very wealthy kids in our community had been taken in and their parents had to kidnap them to get them back.  Thankfully they were successful. \n\nThe problem we have here is that half the country has been indoctrinated and we don\'t have enough de-programmers do undo the damage.  It\'s been unfolding for decades. The owners of the press refuse to help--they have even hired some of the mouthpieces (CNN hire lots of them over the last few years) to help push the narrative.

{'comment': '"Fighting fire with fire", in this case, will only serve to reinforce their mistrust - a mistrust created and maintained by the right wing messaging apparatus - but mistrust all the same. \n\nI agree that this messaging/disinformation crisis is clearly not something that can be handled with our standard messaging platform, and there is a very real need to break through and communicate with these voters (if it isn\'t already too late to call us all "voters"). \n\nPersonally, I think the best tack we can borrow from is to treat this like an addiction. Primarily because - in many ways - it is. Real world answers, solutions, and explanations come with nuance and uncertainty, and are very often far too complex to boil down to a quip or a catchphrase. But disinformation/propaganda can be short, witty, and memorable. It\'s easy to digest, and it is specifically crafted (and AB tested, and modified) to give the listener the confidence that they now understand something which has been bothering them, and gives them permission to set that issue aside, having received a satisfactory answer to their concern. \n\nWhether or not that concern was planted by the same person giving out the "information", whether that information is trustworthy, accurate, or even plausible in reality is not important - it takes the discomfort away (or gives them someone/something to blame for it). A quick hit of confidence to dull the cognitive dissonance and creeping doubt. A lotto ticket that lets you go on with your day fantasizing about how it\'ll all be better on Friday when your ship comes in instead of worrying about those bills due tomorrow. It\'s a temporary "solution" to a problem too big to address head-on.\n\nSimply explaining how someone is wrong, or that they\'ve been lied to won\'t work because it isn\'t about the truth anymore. You\'re not just correcting a misunderstanding, you\'re challenging a worldview, an identity, and flushing their stash at the same time. \n\nIt\'s isolating, scary, and - depending on how long they\'ve been using - exposing a very real and existential dread. If I\'ve been lied to about X, what other lies have I accepted?  If I\'m wrong about Y, am I wrong about everything? Am I gullible? Am I dumb?  Have my decisions hurt other people? Am I a bad person?.... \n\nIt\'s a dark road. \n\nSo - just like with every other addiction - if someone you know is reaching out, seeing the damage they\'re doing, and looking for a way out: help them detox. Get them off of social media, away from talk radio and network "news" and try to get them to take a technology vacation to recover. Give them a community to help replace the one they are leaving, and - when the time comes - be patient, kind, and understanding when you explain the damage the propaganda pipeline has done to them, their culpability and responsibility in getting here, and what you think would be good "next steps" in the right direction. \n\nInterventions can work, but they can backfire if not handled well. \n\nThe most proactive plan we can make is to warn and deter new addicts, and foster a thirst for understanding, a standard for truth and evidence, and a skepticism of simple, easy answers by confidence men.\n\nAs a last resort - sometimes rock bottom will shake an addict free, and we\'re certainly about to hit a new rock bottom. Signal-boost the voices crawling out of the pit, to warn others of the danger and offer a path to those still inside. \n\nInstitutional/Systemic changes can often help with epidemics such as these, but we\'re not gonna get a "heroin recovery plan" from the drug Kingpin President, so one way or another we\'re gonna have to ride this bender out and hope they haven\'t done irreversible damage.

Demanding accountability from the 4th estate was a lost cause *before* the election, with the acceptance of the "fake news = anything I disagree with" narrative, and there\'s zero chance for systemic improvement anytime in the near future. \n\nYou can\'t counter-message the propaganda machine when people actively refuse to listen or challenge the accepted narrative. The information is readily available, at our fingertips in a heartbeat, explained at every comprehension level and attention span. It\'s not a question of access, it\'s a matter of choice (and time, and energy, and standards). \n\n40 years ago, if you wanted to know what\'s going on in the world, you could watch national news, local news, catch the radio updates, or read the paper. You could listen or skim to the parts that interested you the most, but you would inevitably be exposed to stories, opinions, and topics that were outside of your preferences or opposed to your point of view. It would be notable, obvious, and strange for something like "The sitting President decides not to continue his reelection campaign" to be a story that anyone "missed".\n\nBut now, if it\'s not rolled into a new Netflix series, or mentioned in passing on their fantasy football podcast, there are (apparently) thousands of people who will never see that news, never have a conversation about it at work, and show up to the voting booth wondering when Joe Biden decided not to run. \n\nI\'m still trying to process the staggering number of *willfully uninformed* voters - blissfully ignorant to the world around them but still certain that they should do their duty and vote - and how much overlap that group shares with the propaganda "addict" group; but the outcome is, ultimately, the same. \n\nIt\'s gonna come down to that majority of voters "hitting rock bottom" with buyer\'s remorse, and whether or not there are people around to hold them accountable to their decision and willing to demand more than "I\'m sorry\'s" and "I didn\'t know\'s". \n\n\nPersonally, with my family I\'m needling "you don\'t know enough to have an opinion on this topic" as often as necessary. I offer to install something like Ground News on their phones, sign them up for Morning Brew, or buy them a newspaper subscription, but I don\'t expect any takers early on.

It could be worthwhile to find out why over 100 times as many voters only voted for president in particular States versus other States.\n\nBut, if it turns out that, say, 'Bullet Ballots' are .01% to .07% of all ballots in all 'safe' States, and break randomly to one or the other candidate, but are 1% to 7% in 'battleground' States and break mostly to one candidate and constitute the margin of victory in some of them, would that warrant further investigation?  For fraud, maybe, but maybe the battleground nature somehow increases this type of voting and being able to tap into that voter base is something to try to understand.", 'created': '2024-11-13 12:19:45', 'submission_id': '1gq649u'}

They probably expected Trump to win in 2020 so they didn't do much that time. The vast majority of Russian people do not want Putin. So of course Putin's party hacked the election.

Found this great article and here’s the main piece. \n\nSo what does 10 U.S.C. § 1161(a) provide?  Here is the text:\n\n(a) No commissioned officer may be dismissed from any armed force except—\n\n(1) by sentence of a general court-martial;\n\n(2) in commutation of a sentence of a general court-martial; or\n\n(3) in time of war, by order of the President. \n\nAre we currently in a “time of war” as used by this statute?  Although the phrase “time of war” is used in many U.S. statutes, there is no universally accepted definition of precisely what it means.  Some court decisions indicate it means war when declared by Congress, and some statutes do use the phrase the “time of war declared by Congress.” \n\nhttps://sites.duke.edu/lawfire/2016/09/15/can-presidents-fire-senior-military-officers-generally-yesbut-its-complicated/', 'created': '2024-11-13 07:47:22', 'submission_id': '1gq1ujx'}

{'comment': 'The Republicans have been gearing up for this for decades. \n\nThey first began laying the foundation for it in the 80s. They deregulated the media and defanged the FTC which allowed Fox News to be born. In the 90s the Democratic Party gave in and became a “moderate” party. Despite that, the Republicans went hard right into angry and vitriolic politics with Newt Gingrich leading the way. Talk radio with political commentary exploded and has been dominated by the extreme right. \n\nIn the 2000s even comedy & entertainment programs were implicitly pro-right. Right wing think tanks and lobbyists have since poured massive bucks into turning every social media site into a top-down led platform that disseminated misinformation on a massive scale. Reminder that one of the earliest investors into Facebook was Mr Peter Thiel, the current handler of JD Vance and the Republican Party. \n\nIt didn’t matter what the Democratic Party did, the republicans saw an “in” and they took it. When the Dems went to the center, the republicans went to the alt right. They have worked hard to make sure the American people has had what is essentially neo nazi propaganda funneled into their brain for years and it has paid off a hundred fold.\n\nEdit: to speak to Obama in particular, he once represented a new way forward but honestly much of his luster is gone nowadays. The only people he has a real pull on are people who were alive to witness his rise to the presidency. The sad truth is younger voters do not care about him. Who can blame them really? Whether it’s his fault or not, Obama failed. \n\nIn 2008 he ran on a platform with populist messaging— but he was NOT a populist. He never actually created a “left” coalition— he created a cult of personality. And that well eventually dried up. He wasn’t able to unite the many factions of the Democratic Party for long nor did he create lasting political power that many working class and progressive people felt like they could wield. “Hope and change”? Hope for what? Change to what? He didn’t create any lasting change. His term ended with many progressives without hope, disillusioned with the Democratic Party—and Donald Trump as the President.', 'created': '2024-11-13 14:04:38', 'submission_id': '1gq1amh'}

{'comment': 'You have to go back to 1964 and Barry Goldwater. From Wikipedia:\n\n“Goldwater only won his home state of Arizona and five states in the Deep South. The Southern states, traditionally Democratic up to that time, voted Republican primarily as a statement of opposition to the Civil Rights Act,[102] which had been signed into law by Johnson earlier that year. Despite Johnson’s support for the Civil Rights Act, the bill received split support from Congressional Democrats due to southerner opposition.”\n\n[Barry Goldwater](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Goldwater) \n\nThis is the point in recent history where Dixiecrats switched parties in protest of the Civil Rights Act.  This is why when republicans say they are the party of Lincoln they are revealing their ignorance.  \n\nThe similarities between the election of Obama and the rise of the Tea Party movement and the south going republican after 1964 cannot be overlooked.  Then you have the birth of the New Right and Christian right in the 70’s to include the creation of the Heritage Foundation. \n\nOf course you could go back to post Civil War and talk about the [The Lost Cause](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Goldwater) and The United Daughters of the Confederacy and the mistakes that were allowed in teaching southern children an entirely different history than what was being taught in northern states.  \n\nAll of it boils down to racism and completely different ideologies.  As today with Trump, Goldwater too condemned the KKK and tried to distance himself from racism but they still voted for him.  \n\nPart of our struggle has to do with what started post civil war which led to Lost Cause, Jim Crowe, and continued through the Civil Rights Act of 1964.', 'created': '2024-11-13 19:25:40', 'submission_id': '1gq1amh'}

Congress must approve the shutting down of this department, and even with a 52 majority Dems can filibuster it, especially if Thune get's the Majority lead. Passing this legislation will take awhile, and and if anything happens it will be 2026 until it takes effect.\n\nMost moderate GOP members (there are many) will not vote for this because the DOE benefits red districts. Top states who receive the most funding: Alaska, North Dakota, Montaha, Kentucky, South Dakota, Mississippi. This will be taking money out of their districts, and will cause blowback from their constituents. No one likes losing appropriated money.

{'comment': 'Yes, shutting down the Department of Education would be bad.\n\nBut a few things to remember:\n\n* Eliminating DoE has been a conservative goal for ages. This is nothing new.\n* He cannot just say, “I, President Donald J. Trump, order the Department of Education closed.” That requires legislation, and both houses of Congress are very close, so he can’t afford any Republican dissenters.\n    * On the other hand, executive orders and general policy decisions can hobble its effectiveness or seriously reprioritize matters.\n* This is part of an entire wish list from Project 2025. There simply is neither time nor political capital to accomplish it all in one term, especially given that their number one priority will be immigration.\n* He’s picking a Cabinet based on ideology and loyalty over talent and competence. While that’s a recipe for disaster in many ways, sometimes, having people like that in charge will limit how much they can do.\n* EDIT: There are DoE functions that conservatives would love to see eliminated, like setting curriculum standards. (And honestly, the specific role of the Federal government in such matters is a legitimate policy debate.) There are also functions like Pell Grants and student loans that have broad support and would be taken over by another part of the government if DoE was eliminated.', 'created': '2024-11-13 03:51:18', 'submission_id': '1gq0hdt'}

{'comment': "To get rid of the filibuster, you'd need to change Senate rule 22, which allows for unlimited debate time unless 60 senators vote to end the debate. This is the filibuster.\n\nHowever, debate on changing Senate rules can only be ended if 2/3 of the senators vote to end it, meaning you'd need 66 senators to end a filibuster on whether or not to get rid of the filibuster.\n\nIn theory, there's another way to end the filibuster by going through the process of claiming a Senate rule is being broken and then appealing the decision to force a vote through, which only requires a simple majority, or 51 senators. This strategy was used to end the filibuster for nominations.\n\nSo it depends on what route they take. Eliminating it entirely would require 66 senators whereas picking away at it to remove it on votes one by one would only require 51 senators.", 'created': '2024-11-13 15:48:39', 'submission_id': '1gq0hdt'}

You don’t have to agree with the man’s politics to get that he understands the military.\n\nHe’s also a New York Times #1 bestselling author. Ostensibly all the people who bought the book think he has something worthwhile to say.\n\nAs for those saying he’s stupid because he’s a tv commentator; I would say it’s because he suffered an “education” at Princeton (bachelor’s degree) and was further indoctrinated … um “educated” … at Harvard (master’s degree).\n\nThe circus is the one where you think a very well qualified person is not suited to a job because you disagree with his views.', 'created': '2024-11-14 18:07:58', 'submission_id': '1gpzvxi'}

No one was worried that the new guy might be Mussolini. The presence of the outgoing president reassured the country that, Don’t worry, folks.

{'comment': 'I was previously a daily consumer of various political news across the spectrum, but I have watched zero political coverage since 11-5-24, and I will not be doing so for the foreseeable future. Neither the networks or that man deserve my time.\n\nThere are good commentators, certainly, but somehow, some way, the keepers of the keys for political broadcasts have got to understand that Trump was re-elected in part because of their non-stop years-long toadying coverage portraying him as a normal Republican candidate in a normal political “horserace” and holding him and Harris to entirely different standards. \n\nWhile there was some recent increased coverage of his mental decline and unfitness for the office, it was far too little, far too late.\n\nWhen everything is “breaking news”, eventually nothing ends up being breaking news.  Every outrage covered in exhaustive detail, on repeat for days. Attempts at accountability were weak and timid and scarce. It all contributed to the non stop firehose of crazy to which we’ve all become inured, and again, if everything is an outrage, eventually nothing is an outrage. WHICH. WAS. HIS. PLAN. \n\nI can only hope viewership continues to decline across the board until the oligarch class feels it in their wallets, since that’s clearly all they care about or are motivated by.  I’m sure the right wing establishment and their gullible consumers are currently in full-on gloating mode. Uncaring or unaware that Trump wants nothing more than to dismantle democracy, enrich himself, and avoid legal accountability until he runs out the clock on his dark, vile, small, selfish, unrepentant, unredeemable life.\n\nThe only bright lining that I can see going forward is that he will not be able to restrain his darkest impulses, so the fallout will be swift and should be rightly laid entirely at his feet.  His lapdogs will spend the next four years trying to explain away disastrous policies, events and the consequences of his increasingly addled behavior. I wish them all the luck they deserve.\n\nAs for his supporters, may every policy they promote with the intention of hurting others be turned back upon them.  Any policy good enough to punish people they hate should be equally applied to them and the people they love. \n\nI will remain informed via a variety of non-profit print and media entities.

{'comment': 'I am a proud independent who voted for Kamala who spent 20 years in corrupt Chicago and now lived in a tyrannical red state. Democrats who don\'t live their bubbles are so blind, and cost themselves one of the most winnable elections for a bad incumbency.\n\nCan I be honest? I wondered during the election if democrats had a media problem - not in terms of all media, but in terms of dem-friendly media. They... all seem like awful people. Take Joy Reid for example, her mannerisms literally make me turn off the channel when she\'s on. She gloats at the failures of Republican policies (when they make Americans suffer), it smacks to me of trying to be like Fox, but in a weird dismal way.\n\nI hate the way the talking heads tout their own intelligence above others, especially as they were almost always in the wrong this last 6 months. Meanwhile Don Lemon was out in the cities, and his interviews were freaking me out as he went up to people of various races and asked "did you vote biden? " - lots of Yes, "will you vote Kamala" - lots of no. \n\nLike, I don\'t WANT to watch dem-friendly media. I hate Fox, but hell - even their awful opinion heads are WATCHABLE. They are a LOT more entertaining. Hell, even liberal comedy had a lot of problems in this last election cycle (Kimmel, Colbert, and most of their co-hosts and other hosts were unwatchable). Seth Meyers is great, but he does way way too easy on the democrats. Jon Stewart is... tired, and you can tell - really done with it all - some of his commentary was right on the money this election season, but he\'s so tired of ragging on the GOP that he spent most of his time attacking the democrats for 8 months, and I think it was misguided even though I understood). There was one show I could watch time, and time, and time and again because it was fact based - John Oliver\'s Last week tonight.\\*\n\nThat\'s a PROBLEM when you consider how much conservative media is out there, and attracting eyeballs at the moment.\n\nWhy? Because often they talk like real people rather then an ivory league dipshit (Tucker Carlson excluded of course).\n\nI\'ve said it for ages - democrats have a messaging problem - except now the problems with the democratic party being zealously focused on being politically correct has now translated to most of your media choices too.\n\nGood work, when someone aligned with what you purport to want can\'t even watch the media that supports you... you\'ve gone too far.\n\n\\*= special mention for liberal dipshit Bill Maher who is so up his own ass, all he speaks is bullshit - though admittedly I think he\'s been on the money with the dems going too far to the left. (Tons of folk will respond to this saying Kamala\'s campaign was centrist as hell, and I\'d ask you guys - why do you think her campaign was centrist as hell. Why do you think that\'s all they messaged on. They didn\'t do it in a vacuum. They did it because for the past 4+ years the democrats have gone so far left on some issues that they left the American people behind.\n\nThere is a reason you lost cities full of crime after you pushed defund the police for years.', 'created': '2024-11-13 20:48:30', 'submission_id': '1gprvlu'}

{'comment': 'I agree with everything you said but I do have a major concern about the republican portion of our electorate.  As you stated, faux news viewership has not declined.  These people have been drawn into a fully controlled right wing media driven news environment that is disconnected from reality.  They voted for tRump but the top concern listed in exit polls was the economy.  He had concepts of a plan as far as policies are concerned. Their news outlets convinced them of this even though the metrics indicate that we recovered from covid at a faster rate than the rest of the world.  They do not share our reality.  \n\nIn total, my concern is that when things get bad, and you and I know this will happen, republicans will blame democrats and these people will believe them.  \n\nI do, however, relish the thought of a national abortion ban.  The white women in Ohio that voted for tRump while voting for abortion rights need a wake up call.  The union members that voted for tRump need to see and feel what the union busting oligarchs of the republican party can do to take their rights away.  Manufacturing jobs will not come back.  The Hispanic males with family members that are undocumented immigrants need to feel the pain of mass deportation.  I am not convinced that this will be enough.\n\nAlso to your point of how the media treated tRump and republicans, I got tired of watching Jake Tapper allow republicans to come on the air, tell like 10 lies, and only call out 1.  When democrats come on they are subjected to live fact checking and you can tell that the interviewer held them to a higher standard as they expected the truth from them.  I am taking the same route as you as far as media consumption is concerned.

{'comment': 'Not necessarily. I know people on both sides of the aisle that spend more on luxury goods while bitching about groceries/the economy.\n\nTo clarify, I\'m not suggesting anyone is wrong for bitching about the price of groceries - I just think there\'s a lack of understanding about the greater economy and consumer choices that\'s really hard to message.

{'comment': "That doesn't work when you're running against Trump. Nearly every single Republican who's attempted to mimic Trump, both in primaries against him and in random downballot races against Democrats, has lost. The race was borderline unwinnable to begin with. Biden probably made it worse by waffling on running for a 2nd term, but it's really frustrating to see people blame Harris for any of this.\n\nInflation takes time for people to feel the impact. It's why in 2022 Republicans couldn't use it as effectively as they did against Democrats in 2024. Voters thought prices were spiking temporarily and would come back down. The *rate* of inflation of course came back down, but prices of course do not, and people eventually figured that out and got angry. \n\nDemocrats do not need to overhaul their entire platform. They just need to wait for Trump to fuck up and then capitalize on it, and hope that they don't face similar economic headwinds next time they're in power.", 'created': '2024-11-12 23:14:51', 'submission_id': '1gprvlu'}

The US would first have to build a bunch of factories, which would be in the neighborhood of hundreds of billions of dollars, maybe even more. It's just not feasible right now. Also, be prepared for those chips being massively more expensive under these conditions.\n\nOoooor the manufacturers could just say fuck it and simply transfer the extra cost to the consumer. Because sourcing it domestically would definitely raise the price by way more than 10-20%.

They didn’t buy into the propaganda, even though they often face the same—if not greater—economic challenges as other groups. So why didn’t they prioritize “the economy, stupid”? Perhaps because they understood that their vote was, in fact, for a strong economy, unclouded by the Fox News and mainstream narratives designed to mislead.\n\nThese voters were presented 2 choices: the choice between an edible piece of fruit and the choice between a steaming pile of shit with glass in it and while claiming they are starving, they chose the shit because they have been captured by propaganda to believe shit is good for them and fruit isn’t. \n\nAnalyze that.', 'created': '2024-11-12 16:46:20', 'submission_id': '1gpn6ue'}

If they had actually looked at the data they would have had nothing serious to complain about.  The Democrats were fixing things.  Why break a winning streak?\n\nPeople can\'t say the real reason for their vote in public, so they mention the economy as a convinient excuse.  I understand why the Financial Times would write that the reason is Financial, but the real reason is much darker.  There is a wave of Us vs Them resentment resonating around the globe, partly from long-standing internal tensions, and partly because the Russians and others have been stoking those resentments for years.\n\nTolerance is a virtue in the USA. Our society has had several centuries to evolve the primitive 18th Century idea that all men are created equal into a sophisticated set of social norms.  We now know that a large percentage of the population really, really hate the idea that everyone is equal, and they are tired of pretending they are in public.  They are so consumed by anger about this "wokeness" in society that they voted to end the constitution that started it.\n\nThey are now consolidating a fascist regime to impose their anger at having to pretend on the folks they look down on.  They hear a wannabe dictator speak with open contempt of all they secretly hate and say to themselves, “He’s one of us!” They are now free to celebrate their contempt in public, and they do. They just did it at the ballot box.\n\nSoon this strong man will set up a society that features secret police that will capture, imprison, and even kill folks that value equality. He called them, “the enemy within.” He mentioned names. His base cheered.\n\n[https://www.politifact.com/article/2024/oct/30/trump-is-talking-more-about-the-enemy-from-within/](https://www.politifact.com/article/2024/oct/30/trump-is-talking-more-about-the-enemy-from-within/)\n\nThe MAGAs picture blue haired, nose ring wearing lesbian baristas at Starbucks, and the tweed jacket intellectuals at Harvard as their targets.  And rag-wearing latinos fleeing Cartel violence.  And school teachers.  And doctors.  And folks that believe in other gods, or no gods at all.\n\nThe targets of their hate varied, but they were always THEM and never US.\n\nWell, they\'re about to get a wakeup call.  Trump\'s contempt includes them too.  And with his new role gets to set up secret police and internment camps to implement his contempt.\n\nOne of the "features" of living in a fascist society is that you can get retribution on who you don\'t like by denouncing them to the secret police.   If a large company has a problem with a startup eating away at it\'s market all it has to do is make a few phone calls and the startup swept away.  Jilted lovers will do the same. Jealous neighbors? Ditto. Don\'t like that dog barking?  Who ya gonna call!! The Woke Busters!\n\nIt’s just how life is in a totalitarian regime. It will take a few years - 3 to 8 on average - but life will eventually really suck in the USA if we can\'t restore the Constitution (in upgraded form) to it\'s rightful place as the supreme law of the land.\n\n[https://www.historytools.org/stories/the-stasi-inside-the-twisted-world-of-east-germanys-secret-police](https://www.historytools.org/stories/the-stasi-inside-the-twisted-world-of-east-germanys-secret-police)', 'created': '2024-11-12 20:32:28', 'submission_id': '1gpn6ue'}

Unfortunately, their parents unknowingly gave them bad advice and way too many of them graduated into the Great Recession with degrees that weren't in demand. So they ended up with high expectations, lots of debt, and no career path.   \n  \nGen-Z saw what happened to this generation and wants none of it. Gen-Z IS going to college, but they are studying different things. Humanities are collapsing with Gen-Z looking to more practical, job oriented degrees. They are also looking more to affordability and less to prestige when they make their college choices. Regional state universities (Not-a-State State U, Directional State U, State U at Branch Campus, etc.) are booming because they offer great value at a low price for in-state students.    \n  \nThe youth are more conservative because Gen-Z is more conservative.

Any protest will be met with a violent response, both by the National Guard and by the red-hat thugs who will be given a free pass. Border control could be granted even broader powers not to just go after immigrants but to arrest anyone they deem an “immigrant supporter.” Women will have to register their menstrual cycles and fertility status with the state, and doctors will be required to share women’s medical data with the state.

The media didn\'t push Biden out of his campaign, the democrats and the left did.  \n\nThe media does a lot of misinformation, but it\'s also serves the purpose of telling people what they want to hear - and part of that is recognizing the system of values we seem to share collectively values rhetoric and false promises over action and achievement, values ranting bullshit that doesn\'t stop to think versus someone old enough that they may stop to think during each sentence.  \n\nThe media didn\'t make it uncool to be a democrat, or to support Joe Biden - although they played a part.  It was also the people and the narratives we give weight to.  \n\nVery few people would honestly call themselves a supporter of our current media environment, and the legacy media is being bought up largely because it\'s also on its last legs.  \n\nWe need to just stop relying on it to dictate the narrative.\n\nNot because you\'re wrong, but because you\'re 100% right.', 'created': '2024-11-12 07:49:06', 'submission_id': '1gp8r34'}

I hoped so badly we wouldn\'t lose. I kind of saw it coming but never this bad. \n\n\n\nI would like to bring light to some thoughts I have on how we lost. I think our loss of support from the tech industry might be the biggest reason we lost. We have some alligence with tech CEO\'s but the lower and mid level techs have suffered a decent amount in the last 3 years. Massive layoffs, coupled with right wing social media dominance, and democrats tendency to regulate crypto currency has made the "techbros" upset. \n\n\n\nAlot of these tech people have brought into crypto. They know how to use technology (plus the dark web). I work in tech and know a lot of people who suffered layoffs from Microsoft and game studios. Our support from their bosses (bill gates and mark cuban) that layed them off did not help. Now the techs have started to get what they want with the start of the crypto rallies that have started. \n\n\n\nWe need to work on our tech alliances again and get our social media influence to become relevant. Our leadership is old and doesn\'t understand technology properly. I do believe that crypto can be dangerous but I don\'t know how to regulate our messaging around it. We live in a technology filled world that is now accelerating with AI. we will never win another election without also utilizing those tools.', 'created': '2024-11-11 19:07:56', 'submission_id': '1goypqx'}
{'comment': "The technology itself is available for anybody to use. \n\nIt's a matter of failing to gain control of mass communications systems and platforms. \n\nDemocrats, with the possible exception of Obama 2008, have just not given it a big priority. We rely on legacy media which we demand to be fair (sometimes they are) while Republicans with help from billionaire buddies have relentlessly built their own information delivery systems since the dawn of rightwing talk radio. \n\nWe need to develop our own information delivery systems or at least find a way to circumvent the Fox/Twitter/META ecosystem. The latter could be done in an old school way by permanently remaining in contact with voters at a grassroots level. I previously compared this to a benign 21st version of an urban political machine – but nationally. \n\nThe concept of parachuting into an area a few weeks before an election is increasingly unsuccessful. We need Dems who will keep in touch with their neighbors all year and forward to state and national parties what is on the minds of the grassroots. \n\nVictory will come from the bottom up – not the top down.", 'created': '2024-11-12 00:44:36', 'submission_id': '1goypqx'}

He'll have to win in spite of it if he ultimately becomes the presidential candidate, and that already puts him at a disadvantage.\n\nIt _sucks_, don't get me wrong, that we have to filter out competent people because their background and history paints a large target on their back, but this is unfortunately reality: when the electorate cannot be trusted to think past their basal human instincts, success does not involve banking on them to think past their basal human instincts. It must be appealed to, because unfortunately we've now gotten to a point where one political party has to win because the other has completely abandoned all responsibility and diligence to the ethos of the country at large.\n\nAnd this is why the Democrats as a political group is ever so threadbare and on the precipice of everything. There is a consistent struggle between doing what is right: meritocracy, opportunity, representation, equity, and what is needed.

Trumps team was much more active in this space, and while what he was saying to them was largely complete lies, it unfortunately reached more people than Kamala’s message.  \n\n2.) The “benefit” of a perceived bad economy- circling back to number 1, he convinced 74 million Americans that the president actually sets the prices of goods sold on the private market.  Total lie, but they were convinced nonetheless.  \n\n3.) Absolutely *massive* political interference by Elon Musk-    And to such a degree that it *should* be at least investigated by the FBI.  Not saying it was anything that would definitely be found inherently “illegal” but every single person that I know that still has Twitter, was shown almost exclusively right-wing white nationalist propaganda via the Twitter algorithm.  And these people had *never* interacted with that type of content ever.  \n\nAll those combined and likely more, led to a lot of people believing that the fear behind Trumps terrible words was largely propagated by the left and that it was “fake news”.   It sucks, but it’s just kind of the long and short of how it happened.', 'created': '2024-11-11 21:58:26', 'submission_id': '1goym9x'}
{'comment': 'Appreciate this, well said and it helps explain a lot. It makes sense and the big wave of hype that big blue state candidates have can be blinders that shadow how a large chunk of the electorate thinks. This past election made me realize the importance of winnable candidates versus great candidates. Not mutually exclusive but our electorate is very diverse and can have seemingly incompatible mindsets.  \n\nBut that also makes me fear losing out on great winnable candidates because our criteria for winnable is always needing to change.', 'created': '2024-11-12 01:02:24', 'submission_id': '1goym9x'}
{'comment': 'And it seems like all our conflicting interests will have to come to a head. We\'ve often been called the "Big Tent" Party, taking in just about anyone who doesn\'t belong in the GOP. The problem is that nobody owns the "Big Tent". No one group owns it and therefore we have nobody to set our values, set our beliefs. Now, as much as I\'d like to think we can govern without values, without beliefs, I don\'t think it\'s possible. It\'s never been done before in the history of the world, let alone the USA. From the very beginning, who got to own land, who could and couldn\'t vote, who was and wasn\'t property? These were value judgements made by people who took the benefits they were getting from those judgements as proof that the system was operating rationally.  Beliefs are things you hold in your heart, and when the system makes a judgement that doesn\'t conform to them you just have to trust its wisdom.', 'created': '2024-11-12 16:50:58', 'submission_id': '1goym9x'}

{'comment': "> But that also makes me fear losing out on great winnable candidates because our criteria for winnable is always needing to change.\n\nFor example, there's a lot of talk about seeing AOC run for president in the future. I think she would do great as a president, even if she personally hesitates or disagrees. I think she'd excel in a primary. But there's no getting away from the fact that the glass ceiling exists and the electorate at large, where their votes matter most for deciding who seats at the White House, are going to be less enthused purely on sexism alone.\n\nIdealistically we'd like to imagine it won't be a big deal, but this is the insidious thing about many, many ~isms: these implicit biases are often silent, pervasive, and natural. Someone who opens doors for women but not men may be seen as chivalrous, but it can equally be borne from a perspective of inequity. Countering these biases require active, persistent, intervention. There are a lot of people who proclaim they are above these implicit biases, but in reality they aren't. Self-proclamations of position are easy; actual behavior and speech require everyday, consistent effort.\n\nOn the other hand, all this attention on the presidential seat misses out on all of the good people from all walks of life do across all arms of government, federal and state. If the Democrats had a Congressional majority for example, the looming despair of a Trump presidency may be weakened. Even having the House would be a remarkable aid (something that seems highly unlikely to happen given how the votes are tallying up). \n\nOur ideal caricature of a presidential candidate may have qualities that would disadvantage them electorally on the national stage, but this same caricature would be great for Congress, for state governorship, for city councils, for education boards. Leveraging support in these spaces is just as important.", 'created': '2024-11-12 01:12:26', 'submission_id': '1goym9x'}

{'comment': '\nTo quote Hannah Arendt, from Eichmann in Jerusalem\n\n”For when I speak of the banality of evil, I do so only on the strictly factual level, pointing to a phenomenon which stared one in the face at the trial. Eichmann was not Iago and not Macbeth, and nothing would have been farther from his mind than to determine with Richard III ‘to prove a villain.’ Except for an extraordinary diligence in looking out for his personal advancement, he had no motives at all… He merely, to put the matter colloquially, never realized what he was doing… It was sheer thoughtlessness—something by no means identical with stupidity—that predisposed him to become one of the greatest criminals of that period. And if this is ‘banal’ and even funny, if with the best will in the world one cannot extract any diabolical or demonic profundity from Eichmann, this is still far from calling it commonplace… That such remoteness from reality and such thoughtlessness can wreak more havoc than all the evil instincts taken together which, perhaps, are inherent in man”\n\nThere is no great mystery or conspiracy theory behind this victory.

I don't think there's any way we can recover. I don't believe there will be any further elections once Project 2025 is fully implemented.

That’s a pretty shitty implication there, friend', 'created': '2024-11-11 21:57:22', 'submission_id': '1gowpwk'}
{'comment': 'Okay. Let me break this down for you.\n\nYou’re implying a lack of integrity or moral fortitude among Jewish people, which is just nonsense. Jews, both in Germany and worldwide, have a long history of standing up for social justice and human rights, often at great personal risk. German Jews would not have leapt at the chance to join the Nazis, and that’s fucking ridiculous to say. You’re implying that German Jews scheming or morally flexible—willing to adopt any ideology for self-preservation or advantage—and that only historical happenstance of the Nazis being anti Jewish prevented that here.\n\nSecondly, you’re fundamentally misunderstanding the Nazis. It wasn’t “historical happenstance” that the Nazis were antisemitic. There wasn’t really a “someone else.” the Nazis could have gone after in the same way Antisemitism is a very particular form of hate because it’s a conspiracy theory about Jewish power and influence, not just hate—it has a political dimension that the Nazis we’re a part of. Further, Jews had already been dehumanized and massacred and oppressed across Europe for 2,000 years—the Nazis could only have created Naziism on the back of this antisemitism. There were others the Nazis hated, like queer people and Slavs, but they hated them on the basis of being a “Jewish invention” in the case of homosexuality and “Jewish puppets” in the case of Slavs. The basis of their ideology was antisemitism.\n\nThe Holocaust isn’t like, a moral parable where you can slot where you can slot any given minority in the position of the Jews. It happened particularly and deliberately to Jews. The dehumanization and antisemitism went too deep into European institutions and European identity and self conceptions about nationalism and scientific racism. \n\nI don’t like this “the German Jews would have joined the Nazis if the Nazis weren’t antisemitic” because A, the Nazis would never have been Nazis if they weren’t antisemitic, and B, the overwhelming majority of Jews, German or not, would never have joined a movement like that and it has uncomfortable implications to say they would have.', 'created': '2024-11-11 21:53:39', 'submission_id': '1gowpwk'}

{'comment': "Sorry buddy, but this is fan fic.  The average voter isn't this introspective.  A closer reality is that their vote is going to be justified cause all of the soft landing effects and interest reductions will start to happen next year. (Thanks Trump!)  So they will feel all warm an fuzzy and crow about Trump with a bunch of told ya so's.  They were prepared to install a government this time around so if we are lucky, they will redirect or hold back on some of the crazier shit like broad based tarrifs.  \n\nThey have the Senate on lock.  They will crank out a fetid stream of judicial appointees and replace Thomas and Alito with some Heritage Foundation golden child that passed the bar last year.  The average voter won't care.  \n\nGaza and Ukraine will come to and end and will be spun so hard as a win you could strap magnets to it and power all of the eastern seaboard.  (They won't though cause that would upset big oil).\n\nThe cabinet will likely be a revolving door.  Musk has far to large of an ego to be next to Trump.  RFK might survive, but they both say stupid shit and the quiet ones that whisper in Trumps ear will likely want them gone.  I give them 18 months tops, with Musk gone in 12.\n\nThey will crime.  They will crime HARD.  They will continue to push the lines of common decency and legal norms.  Dems will push back... but hey... its just the usual witch hunt shit, throw it on the pile.  It's just background noise to the average voter.\n\nThe ONLY thing that is going to matter is another national emergency that can get totally mismanaged like Covid.  It may hopefully be mass deportations gone totally bananas and really freak people out, but so long as it hurts the right people (please don't eat my face Mr. Leopard) that may be fine.  Another possibility is the Supreme Court starts really cranking out unpopular decisions that will trickle down.  If we are lucky, it will be enough to take back the Senate, and that House if we don't actually win it.  Frankly, I hope we lose the House.  The only way to wake people up is the let  MAGA fly the freak flag for 2 years.  \n\nRemember, the only reason Trump lost in 2020 is due to looking like a total dipshit when it came to Covid.  Had he allowed Fauci to do his thing and sit back and sell MAGA Masks, he would have coasted through re-election.  We are in a bubble on Reddit, and the majority of the electorate have short memories.  Shit... overturning Roe V Wade wasn't fresh enough to drive the choice, and they campaigned way too hard on that when the focus needed to be the economy.   The next 2 years are going to be really bad if you are a liberal.  Most of use will go bald from pulling our hair out.  I'm sorry to shit on your post, but making up fantasies is only setting us up for more disappointment.  \n\nAlso I needed to vent....", 'created': '2024-11-11 23:40:05', 'submission_id': '1goup83'}

{'comment': ">Ya-I see that. Plenty on Millennials, Gen Z, I don’t see anything about Gen X being the deciding screw factor.\n\n  \nReally all the proof I have seen  Trump's voters among age groups has stayed largely the same (with +/- of 3 or 4 points which are regular margins). BUT his support among the youth vote (ages 18-29, which is gen z) shot up by 6 pts this round, which outside the usual margins (I'm disappointed in my age group lol). It's also Trump's highest gain by age group [https://www.nbcwashington.com/decision-2024/2024-voter-turnout-election-demographics-trump-harris/3762138/](https://www.nbcwashington.com/decision-2024/2024-voter-turnout-election-demographics-trump-harris/3762138/) . Which guess I shouldn't be surprised by, news articles and reports have shown that young people (due to being born with the internet fully formed) are as susceptible to scams as senior citizens lol. I have a few friends who have fallen for scams via texts and social media lol.\n\nEither way despite Trump's gain with the youth vote, his main gains come into clearer focus when factoring in gender and race and education. Women (across gender and race lines) overwhelming supported Harris. White rural males, especially without a higher education, that previously back Biden broke for Trump.\n\nAlso still the bigger factor is republican turnout stayed more or less the same in comparison to 2020 (which was already a record breaking year for turnout), while Democratic turnout decreased. Lesson Trump was right that he could shoot his supporters and not lose votes. Democrats made a mistake in thinking 2020 level turnout (a record breaking turnout) would stay at that level this time.", 'created': '2024-11-11 23:10:31', 'submission_id': '1goup83'}

A lot of the votes that “disappeared” are in more populous non-swing states, like Florida, Texas, and Massachusetts. \n\nAlso, while some of the election’s problems are caused by reduced turnout, some is also clearly voters switching from Biden to Trump.

I think what makes an election result “official” in any state is that state’s legislative process in which it’s election results are certified and electors appointed.\n\nWasn’t this one of Trump’s plans? To get certain state legislatures to NOT certify their election results - set aside the voters - and instead have themselves vote to appoint electors, because (some? all?) states have that option. \n\nRegardless, I think there’s an official process and I don’t think it includes concession announcements by a candidate. It’s more likely the state’s SOS sending the results to their state’s legislature, to begin the certification process.

MAGA hasn’t even taken the field and are up in the booth changing the scoreboard, Dems are warming up, practicing their fastball.. \n\nYour analogy is great for why it’s highly unlikely recounts would change the outcome. Irregularities most likely aren’t in the vote counts, or at least not a high enough number to change the outcome. Think back to 2021, there were a lot of states pushing through new legislation for “Election Integrity” with Republican politicians claiming that was necessary to “restore voters’ faith in elections”, faith they helped destroy in the first place by pushing the election lies or being complicit by not speaking out against the lies. \n\nAZ, GA, NC, WI have Republican majorities in the state senate and house, but AZ and GA were the only 2 with Republican governors in 2021. GA also has a state election board with a very sketchy Republican majority. \n\nVoting Rights advocacy groups pushed back against some of the “Election Integrity” legislation through the courts. There were so many states passing so much new legislation though that it’s definitely possible voter suppression was successful for “Election Integrity”.', 'created': '2024-11-11 16:50:54', 'submission_id': '1goknyq'}
{'comment': 'Voter fraud applies to recounts, voter suppression does not.

They’ve been submitting excessive numbers of challenges to voter rolls using party affiliation on registered voter lists. Some started back in 2021. Voters were being urged to check their registration status regularly leading up to the election because of the standard voter roll purges and because of those groups. \n\nAt this point, changing party affiliation on voter registration seems like the best approach and not just to avoid suppression efforts. GOP in Congress that aren’t MAGA-R comply with MAGA because of the MAGA voter base. If they go against MAGA, the base will vote against them in the GOP primary. Large numbers of democrats changing party affiliation to Republican will give those members of Congress 2 voter bases to be concerned about for the primary, MAGA and “new republicans”. \n\nJan6th needs to be the day to change party affiliation to Republican. MAGA used violence and vandalism that day to try to steal the election and too many GOP members of Congress gave a free pass for DJT’s treason.

{'comment': ">How much of the electorate don't vote, again?\n\nNot sure why you're asking me this. Let me rephrase my point. Among progressives, the voter turnout is around 90%. Because of simple behavioral variance, it's very unlikely you'll get to 100% turnout for any political bloc. So you can certainly make an effort, but this returns us to the question of resource distribution.\n\nIf you're the DNC, how much effort are you going to spend trying to appeal to a few extra  additional progressive non-voters, given that—best case scenario—you'd be gaining a 0.5% increase in support, primarily concentrated in districts and states that you're likely to win anyway?\n\nAt least 0.5% effort, probably! But the bulk of the resources are going to need to be directed at the vast majority of Dem voters whose support is far less dependable. I'm not saying I like this. I'm just saying it makes sense.\n\nThat said, I don't think the messaging for the two groups needs to be all that different.

A fucking mess. Doesn’t matter where any of us works, we all know you can’t just fire everyone, replace them with new people, and expect anything to go smoothly.\n\nI know the P2025 people are supposed to have the replacement staff trained before Trump takes office, according to the plan, but training thousands of people away from the place they’ll actually be working is next to useless. This is something that looks good on paper, but it has never been attempted before, and it certainly hasn’t been done by a group of people who barely know how to run government when they’ve got power.\n\nSo, this gives me some comfort. I think it’s going to backfire and make for a less efficient federal government than they’d have if they just replace the department heads and their immediate subordinates as usual.\n\nAlso, keep in mind that the people hired will not have been hired because they’re the best at what they do; they’re looking for loyalists, not experts.', 'created': '2024-11-11 11:44:14', 'submission_id': '1gof0b8'}

But where is he going to find tens of thousands of workers that are loyal to him? As it turns out, the Heritage Foundation has been working on this for quite some time now. They have a database of at least 20,000 people that have been vetted for being loyal to Trump and for having the same "values".\n\nThis has to be one of the greatest cons in modern history.

Can we agree that Wyoming's... er... demographics... would make it almost impossible for anyone besides Liz to run as a Democrat in Wyoming *and actually win the seat?*\n\nYou might find her ideology and family history to be abhorrent... but do you *really* think a MegaMAGA extremist like Hageman (Wyoming's current representative) is a genuine improvement over hypothetical Liz Cheney(D-WY)? Even if she went full-on Joe Manchin and voted against House Democrats more often than she voted with them, it would *still* be more votes than House Democrats would **ever** get from Hageman.\n\nThat said, you raised a good point about the House refusing to vote on the matter at all. If the opportunity ever arises in the future to ratify another amendment fixing bugs in the 25th Amendment, that amendment should probably require that the House of Representatives and Senate hold a vote within some concrete timeframe, *precisely* to guarantee that no Speaker or house rules can keep the US permanently in limbo and unable to replace a vacancy for Vice-President.", 'created': '2024-11-11 04:11:08', 'submission_id': '1goe6qf'}

Obviously Christian interest groups were behind the efforts to overturn it, but the decision that the Court made was on solid legal footing. Again, I disagreed with it, but that doesn't mean their opinion was inspired by Christian nationalism. Their opinion fits with an interpretive philosophy of the Constitution that even many secular people share.\n\nI think people need to take a step back and take a deep breath.

We can take the house in 2026 even if the economy is hot, because social issues will turn out our base and Trump voters only turn out for Trump himself, the House Districts actually favor Democrats, so we can recover what we lost in PA, MI, WI and maybe pick up in AZ and CA and keep NY seats ; narrow majority but it stops MAGA from passing any laws. I still hope we can pull off a 1 seat majority in the house this year. The Senate is difficult deep red states, with close ties to MAGA, only way we take the senate is a pretty bad recession.

{'comment': '“What do you have to lose in voting for me?” That’s a quote DJT made in asking a black person at a rally. \n\nAs a Democrat, DJT won because he created a divide and conquer movement instituting fear monger tactics, all by playing chess. Our party didn’t know how to play the game, sadly, all because the hope and change we drive had failed in not captivating those who wanted new, and they felt they had nothing to lose (even though they did) by changing to DJT and the Republicans. \n\nThe regrouping has to start within the upper echelons of the party, and not be shy to drain their party of baggage. People don’t want to admit it, but sadly we need to let go of the Obama’s and the Clinton’s. The question needs to be asked why people stay home and don’t vote, then look outwards at the con man and what he’s done to the other party as well. Every single thing he said to incite fear, our response was to go high, but never showed how and why. Every move he made was calculated because deep down, the campaign team was having voters do what we did.  \n\nThe fear tactics came also in media coverage afraid to speak the truth in real time, but baited people to think there was nothing wrong in voting for DJT, even though they spewed it for years that he’s a convicted felon. \n\nDid people have their minds made up before this year? Absolutely! But people chose to vote against their interests because they felt forgotten, and were tired of the poli-tricks, all to say it is what it is; while expecting that the party of hope and love for all Americans will be there to help them when the repercussions of their actions are felt. We feel betrayed by this loss. We feel betrayed that they believed we must “kill” America, jump start her, and live within our means, while cleansing our country of people who aren’t the enemy. If that’s their thought process, in believing so, then cleaning up needs to be done within the Democrats party, and acknowledging the gamble took with no primary, and get the people back to believing their interests matter.

{'comment': '1. The economy is in amazing shape but sentiment about the economy has been low because of inflation and Fox News/Facebook memes that have been spreading propaganda and misinformation.\n\n2. The higher interest rates are what helped bring inflation back under control (2.1% as of the last report, which is basically the target). We spent a decade living with historically low interest rates that weren’t sustainable and got too used to it.\n\n3. While prices have climbed, wages have also grown at a pace (on average) beyond inflation. This means that people are earning more even if the price tag on their eggs has increased.\n\nI bring this up because it seems that media outlets have been using the term “economic concerns” as a stand in for “people did not make an informed decision.” Most voters voted with their feelings instead of rational thinking.', 'created': '2024-11-10 22:30:57', 'submission_id': '1go5btm'}

To back up a bit: China used to import tons of American raised and grown pork, corn and soy products. Well, after the Trump tariffs on China, they reciprocated and imposed large tariffs on American pork, corn and soy. American farmers, including the one in the NYT story, lost a lot of business and money. This guy was a big Trump supporter. Lost a ton of money due to Trump’s policies. However, the Trump administration instituted bailouts for American farmers affected by the Chinese tariffs.\n\nYou can’t make it up…the delusional support of policies that directly harm you, and the hypocrisy of the hand outs you received because of a stupid government policy you supported and which you failed to plan for.', 'created': '2024-11-10 22:53:35', 'submission_id': '1go5btm'}

{'comment': 'It is the economy.

OK, but wages haven\'t kept up with inflation in decades, and sure as hell weren\'t coming anywhere near keeping up from 2021-2023. So just going back to normal just straight up isn\'t good enough. People are looking at where they were in 2019 and comparing it where they are now and concluding that their lives are harder now and the Dems did absolutely nothing to address that.\n\nThe problem is that we gauge the health of our economy assuming people have assets, namely a house and a 401k. For these people, a little bit of inflation is good because those assets gaining value over time is what facilitates a comfortable retirement. \n\nThe problem is that the percentage of people who have those things has shrunk, and is heavily age divided. If you\'re under 40, you probably don\'t own a house. You probably don\'t have a retirement plan, so all inflation is doing is making your life harder. The Democrat messaging to these people was just "No, this is good actually. We\'re not going to do anything for you."

OR 2) the Democrats, or modern liberalism needs a fundamental soul change to win back the lost voters in the long run.\n\nLet me say this: I think your Trump voter friends/relatives are right.

They might be jerks, but we are a democracy, and jerks have votes. THE PEOPLE has chosen Trump. So its us who need to change.

Truly helping these folks, much like the mentally ill, is out of the scope of today’s government. Fixing economic problems of this magnitude require funding, lots of funding, and a massive reform of education and educational standards. It does not require Jesus being infused into PS- there are schools if you want your kids to have that exposure, and parents need to pay for that. People need to move away from these places for greater opportunities (my husband, myself and my kids have all had to do this in our lifetimes).

Trump can just go “I heard someone on tv say they were eating dogs” and people ate that shit up. \n\nI agree it’s going to come down to the democratic message and messenger. You have to go ahead and declare some three word slogans. Example, they could run on  safety, prosperity, and community. We are trying to make you safe, give you more money/opportunites, return to a sense of community with your fellow Americans. Every single discussion can fall into one of those categories and be circled back to that simple message. Every time they say something crazy, call them out for wanting to divide America and see us weakened, then hammer the message.

And not necessarily helpful if you think that the problem is mainly corporations buying up housing. \n\n>INCREASING STARTUP EXPENSE DEDUCTIONS FROM $5,000 TO $50,000\n\nAgain, you need to know what this means to know if you’d benefit from it. \n\nDemocrats tend to be wonks, and people who understand policy likely voted for Harris.

They just see or hear about it and assume it is true. \n\nThen they talk about grocery bills and when you tell them President cannot set the prices in the grocery store because we live in a free market economy, they fall back on "well it was better under Trump." So you remind them that we have been living under Trump\'s tax plan since 2017 and the House of Representatives has been under Republican Control for a very long time, and they set the budget. So if the economy is not doing well right now, then you can look back at Trump and the Republicans for not changing it. They are convinced it is the Democrats fault grocery prices are as high as they are, not realizing the corporate overlords they prostrate themselves too are stealing the money out of their pocket while bending them over.\n\n  \nLast they want to "drill, baby, drill!" Right? Except that America has been producing more oil under the Biden-Harris administration than at any other time in US History. We are more independent today than we ever were under Trump and it isn\'t even close.\n\nNone of the major issues they voted on were true, and with a little research, they already knew that. \n\nIt was an excuse to keep a Black woman out of office because America is deeply entrenched with racism, especially by the Hispanic Men, Boomers, and the Christo-Nazis. This trifecta of people do not want a woman in the Presidency, ever. They think men are the only ones fit for office and even the women in these categories have a hard time going against what they think "God" has said.\n\nShe did not stand a chance without a max level turnout like Biden had in 2020.

The wealthy spend a much smaller percentage of their income on consumer goods, so basically it’s a way of increasing taxes on the poor and lowering taxes for the wealthy.', 'created': '2024-11-10 22:05:39', 'submission_id': '1go3k7j'}

Some of them are racist, sexist, etc., but most of them have just been misled.\n\nYes, I blame them for what’s to come, but mostly, I feel sorry for them. They were sucked into the giant right wing propaganda machine and duped. I was once duped by that same machine. I luckily didn’t get pulled in ***too deep*** before seeing the mask slip on enough talking heads, which allowed me to take a step back and better analyze what I was actually supporting.\n\nIf we ostracize these people and prevent them from ever seeing the left as a friend, then we can’t be shocked when they never come over to our side.\n\nEvery single one of my coworkers is a Trump supporter. They know I’m not. I could go around telling them they’re all racist, sexist pigs, but instead, I try to meet them at their level, and when we talk about hot button issues, I stay away from the obvious left talking points and instead mention how there’s a lot of misinformation out there on both sides, while subtly telling them where some of the misinformation is on their side.\n\nMy coworkers respect me, and we are friendly with each other. There’s a bit of camaraderie between us, so when I subtly point at something, sometimes they go look into on their own, and then they come back with a slightly less extreme position. I may not have gotten them to completely drop Trump, but I’m planting seeds that will allow them to see the full picture for themselves one day.\n\nAnd the only way these people will ever come out of the trance is if they believe they came to the truth all on their own, so all we can do is nudge them in the right direction.\n\nWhen we push people with the typical left talking points, it only causes them to dig in deeper, and when we cut them from our lives, it makes it so they will never see or hear anything outside of the right wing propaganda machine, and they’ll be lost forever.', 'created': '2024-11-10 18:17:26', 'submission_id': '1go3hq0'}

They’re too worried about how they will appear in the FALSE reality that the GOP has constructed so they fail to act appropriately in the REAL reality that is separate from the construct the GOP & MAGA has created. This is what I mean by the Dems are too focused on the “National Psyop”. They’re basing too many of their actions around the false reality that MAGA has created instead of acting appropriately. \n\nWe have many new up and coming and some older Dems in the House & Senate that act as they should, with fervor and strength. But too many of the Democratic leadership are weak pussies who won’t use the power they wield for benevolent purposes. We need strong leaders who will match the fervor the GOP has introduced. If the Dems are worried about balance then they need to meet the GOP’s standards.

Remember, trump and his right wing supporters were screaming about election fraud before voting had even begun. Add to that their silence since he won, it’s hard not to feel like something is suspicious. \n\nIf democracy truly is at stake with the results of this election like Democrats have been saying, then what do they have to lose by pursuing all legal options in the swing states in order to verify the vote count. \n\nTo be clear, I view this path much differently from trump’s “find me 11,000 votes in Georgia”; this is “do we have evidence or a slim enough margin to request a recount the votes and ensure the results are legitimate and not being manipulated or otherwise rigged?”\n\nI don’t have hard numbers in front of me but Kamala Harris’s campaign amassed something like a $1 billion war chest and I guarantee they can pull together more for legal fees and the like in these swing states. If dems go 0-63 in court like trump and his cronies did in 2020 then fuck it at least they tried.

It’s hard for me to defend that as a rural democrat.  When you look at rural areas and rural governments, they are dominated by Republicans.  They are the ones doing things in these areas, bad or good, but they are at least giving these people attention.\n\nWhile I understand that Democratic economic policies are more beneficial to most of the low income people living here, it’s hard to convey that when the party ignores these areas.  It doesn’t help that the majority of these people get their news and info from Fox, social media, and gossip. \n\nMost importantly, a lot of people in the party talk down to people they disagree with (I have been guilty of this as well).  You don’t change people’s mind that way, if anything you just entrench them deeper in their own position.  Being condescending comes off as rude, insulting, and arrogant.\n\nI know we disagree on many things (big things) such as morality, ethics, or even logic, but you don’t win people over by not listening (even if what they are saying is a lie).  The DNC is being led by what would have been moderate Republicans in the 1970s.

Who wants to admit that they\'re ok with being in the same party as Nazis and Christian theocrats?\n\nPlus, what poll can you conduct that will reach an audience that has zero connection to traditional media and is is extremely skeptical of being contacted by people they don\'t know?\n\nI saw a headline about a poll that was done asking people who they thought their neighbors would vote for.  That might be a better strategy going forward.  Don\'t ask people what they\'re going to do, ask them what they think the general opinion is in their area.  They don\'t have to pretend not to be racist, they don\'t have to admit anything about themselves that they aren\'t ready to admit publicly, etc.\n\nYes, there were more important things to worry about, IF the voters were aware of those things.  But for people who actually have the time to pay attention, most are in a media ecosystem that bombarded them with "migrant invasion, crime is skyrocketing, men are stalking girls in bathrooms, the government is refusing to provide aid to Republican states after hurricanes" and more crap like that.  For the ones that don\'t have the time, all they see is higher prices at the grocery store.  They see what immediately affects them, and that\'s how they vote.  In their mind, correlation = causation.\n\nThis happened slowly but steadily.  Right wing control of media outlets that the left brushed off as home to just crazy lunatics.  Left wing focus on serious issues that most people are woefully underinformed about and don\'t have time to talk about, so voters abandoned us in favor of "I will save you" strongmen.\n\nHow do we get those voters back?  We learn to take people seriously, even if their concerns don\'t seem serious or well-founded to us at first.  They aren\'t deplorables or garbage.  They\'re human beings with real fears about how to put food on the table, how to keep their families safe, how to stay employed, how to hope their kids have a bright future and are able to find a job and housing.  For every person who loves being able to flaunt their racism, five more just want a bit more money in their paycheck.  We do a great job calling out the racist.  But in the meantime, the other five aren\'t hearing the good things we have to say about how we plan to help them.  We have to change that, and fast, especially if things get worse in 2025.\n\nTrump\'s modus operandi will be to do or say something outrageous to take up media airtime that we could be using to talk about how Democrats have a better economic plan, or how we create jobs, or how we have superior healthcare and housing plans.  We can\'t let him dominate the conversation with things that ultimately do not matter, like we\'ve done for 9 years now.  We instead have to ignore anything of no actual substance (like his McDonalds stunt), and spend that time talking to voters, asking for a chance to help them.  We didn\'t reach enough of them this time, and it will be so much harder to do next time because of Trump\'s plans to make it easier to share misinformation.  But we have to try, and we have to make sure we\'re telling our narrative, not his.  I wish I could say I knew how to do this on every possible platform, but maybe enough of us are familiar with enough platforms that we can collectively approach it this way.', 'created': '2024-11-11 03:57:19', 'submission_id': '1go2sdb'}

They screamed at the top of their lungs that there was fraud - for the last FOUR YEARS and even dude was tweeting about it happening in PA ON ELECTION DAY. \n\nThere is a right for recounts. All I am saying is that I hope they do a thorough investigation. If/when it comes back that everything is legit and no evidence of cheating, then it’s over. That’s it. \n\nBut sure, attack the folks that are skeptical of the guy that has the literal reputation of cheating, scamming, stealing, etc. all his life to playing fair this one time. It’s not a joke. It’s not a game. There is a lot at stake. Taking another look and doing due diligence is absolutely 100% worth it and I refuse to think otherwise.', 'created': '2024-11-10 20:53:14', 'submission_id': '1go2sdb'}

However, a whole series of federal and local measures will continuously undermine the existing liberal-democratic social pact and change the basic texture that holds together the United States—unraveling what Hegel called Sittlichkeit, the set of unwritten customs and rules that underpin politeness, truthfulness, social solidarity, political rights, and so on. This new world will appear as a new normality, and in this sense, Trump’s second reign may well bring about the end of what was most precious in our civilization.', 'created': '2024-11-10 06:49:43', 'submission_id': '1gnslmv'}

{'comment': "Exactly.  The reality is that the first year of any new presidency is actually the end of the previous one.  The budget and policies in place belong to the previous one.  Trump's economy started slowing before Covid even hit.  He wrecked Obamas successful economy.  Biden first year, inflation grew, but it was Trumps policies and budget.\n\nSo this first year, I'm sure we'll see an increase and some improvement.  Then, as Trump's policies and budget kick in, it'll tank.  If he gets his tariffs, it's going to crash the economy.  Remember, he had to get a $28b bailout for the farmers' last time because of his China trade war and tariffs.\n\nSo, in two years, if he gets his massive tax cuts for the rich and corporations, tariffs, and mass deportation plan, it'll be a mess.  Inflation, labor shortages in construction, farming, meatpacking, etc, where migrants work, everything will be more expensive, and the wealth gap and national debt will blow up again like last time.

{'comment': 'MAGA is to me white grievance in physical form.  I say for the most part that MAGA it is mostly made up of white people.  Its people who are upset that non whites and non-straight individuals are making inroads to the table that was just for them for centuries.  They don\'t like the idea that the power that they once had is going away because those not like them are starting to get more money, starting to get more status, starting to get more power politically and that bothers them that they power they once had was starting to slip from them.  They don\'t like that they are getting left behind (some of it their own doing some not).  They don\'t like that women are getting more power getting to choose who they want to date leaving those that treat them like shit to not have partners.\n\nSo what you have with MAGA is someone to say "Its not your fault you are failing, its not your fault that your job isn\'t here anymore, its not your fault that you can\'t get laid."  "Its the fault of those that don\'t look like us, don\'t act like us that are the problem, its feminism, its illegals, etc".\n\nHe told them what they wanted to hear that their problems are not of their own doing.  He sold them on lies that its the globalist that are sending jobs away, its "wokeness" is why men can\'t get partners, its the illegals that are getting all these things while they can\'t.\n\nThat is why it is more cult like and much like a cult once Trump passes away its going to barely struggle to survive.  No one else can lead them others can tell them what they want to hear but not in a way that Trump does.', 'created': '2024-11-10 01:20:24', 'submission_id': '1gnn6nh'}

{'comment': 'Here are a few of the main ways that Donald Trump leads his followers in ways similar to a cult leader:\n\n1.) Charismatic Authority: Trump’s appeal is heavily based on his strong, confident persona, which resonates deeply with his followers. Much like a cult leader, he often presents himself as a figure who alone has the solutions, inspiring intense personal loyalty that often goes beyond policy.\n\n2.) Us vs. Them Mentality: Cults frequently foster a strong divide between insiders (the “enlightened” followers) and outsiders (those who are seen as threats or unenlightened). Trump has often created a similar dynamic, labeling his critics as enemies and encouraging followers to see the media, Democrats, and other groups as hostile forces.\n\n3.) Distrust of Outside Sources: Cult leaders frequently discourage followers from listening to outsiders or the mainstream media, reinforcing that only the leader can provide “truth.” Trump has often claimed that mainstream media is “fake news,” encouraging his base to rely on him and select news sources he endorses.\n\n4.) Demand for Absolute Loyalty: Like many cult leaders, Trump has often displayed a tendency to reward unwavering loyalty and criticize or marginalize those who question or disagree with him. His public clashes with former aides, staff, and Republican leaders who dissented reflect this focus on loyalty.\n\n5.)Persecution Complex: Cults often cultivate a sense of persecution, emphasizing that they are misunderstood or targeted unfairly. Trump has consistently portrayed himself and his supporters as victims of a “witch hunt,” which strengthens group solidarity by creating a shared sense of grievance.\n\n6.) Simple, Repeated Messaging: Cult leaders frequently use repetitive, simple slogans or phrases to reinforce loyalty and create a sense of unity. Trump’s slogans like “Make America Great Again” and his frequent use of direct, memorable catchphrases help maintain focus and coherence among his base.\n\n7.) Cult of Personality: Many of Trump’s followers admire him on a personal level, sometimes valuing his identity more than specific policies. This personality-centered loyalty is similar to cult dynamics, where the leader’s personality becomes the central focus of the group’s beliefs and values.', 'created': '2024-11-10 04:50:20', 'submission_id': '1gnn6nh'}

As in you need your party in full control in House and Senate to align with President to get anything done.\n\nWhen Obama was finishing up his second term there was talk, where the Right began to realize they would have to conform to what America wants after all- Obamacare became a staple in American life. The Right was changing and then Trump came in - and brought back the division politics accept now - blatant lies distributed like facts.\n\nSince Trump became a new era, but this year everything really came together.

{'comment': 'Aside: The requirement of a picture or link for discussions like this is stupid.\n\nI think the Democrats need to figure out what they are about. Are they going to attempt to become the party of organized labor/working class voters again?\n\nOr are they going to build on their human rights/environmentalism legacy?\n\nOr something else?\n\nI don\'t think it works to go after all of them. The working class, in voting for Trump, proved that they don\'t much care about rights or the environment. They don\'t like trans kids. They selected a bigot and a racist.\n\nIf the answer is "we want everyone", it will probably fail. They might win a particular election, but they won\'t hold on to power. If the answer is "we embrace the values of the working class", then maybe they could win. It will be challenging because the Republicans have already sold out to that. But I will be elsewhere. I don\'t like those values. I\'ll be wherever suburbanites go. ("Suburbanites" is not a perfect term, but -- the well-educated, relatively affluent, thoughtful people who actually study position papers and stuff like that. Who pay some attention.)\n\nIf the answer is something else, then we\'ll have to see.\n\nI don\'t think the current configuration is stable. The well-educated and relatively well-off (but not rich) will go somewhere, but I don\'t know where. I don\'t think their values are compatible with the Trump-leaning working class. That doesn\'t mean they are unsympathetic, but when they speak up for their values, they hear that they are "condescending". The working-class folks don\'t like them. And that is a big fault line. The suburbanite values (for lack of a better term) are not going to be OK with being cruel to LGBTQ+ folks; we know too many of them. They aren\'t going to be OK with selling out the enviornment. They don\'t think much of Trump\'s tariff plan, which is stupid.\n\nIt\'s not clear to me where the Democrats will skate next.

{'comment': 'We fight because Russia hacked the votes. \n\nFrom the image:\n\nGov. of Pennsylvania J. Shapiro, et. al.\nNov. 7th 2024\n\nThis is a formal Duty to Warn Letter. Per DNI Dir. Clapper’s 2015 directive to all agencies and contractors associated with intelligence and financial agency technologies. I have a Duty to Warn of suspicions of hacking, and have done so for my customers including Govt. Agencies, Dept. of Defense, F100 firms and numerous banks. I do so here as a directly affected voter.\n\nNearly all my investigations begin for one of two reasons. The hackers make a mistake triggering a system issue and/or the aggregate effects of the hacking creates results outside nominal expectations. There is a third and less common flag; an unrelated distraction to draw attention away from the hacking.\n\nAll three of these indicators are present in the election of Nov. 5th 2024. Element three, distraction via bomb-threats, is confirmed coming from Russian agencies. Element one is the inexplicable mismatch of reported votes vs. voter turnout. Here in Centre County initial tabulation was an absurdly low 67K votes when over 80K voters participated. Element two is also present. Our local scanner systems worked in testing, but were unable to communicate properly with tabulation systems after the bomb-scare. I note from experience - the failure of a scanning systems to properly load a database is an extremely common development when a system is changed without notice to the users. I have personally worked on similar issues where sudden scanner configuration failures were the first symptoms of system hacking.\n\nWith these three elements present, I suggest immediately doing a relatively simple set of preliminary checks. First, randomly selected precincts require manual comparisons of the number of voters who took ballots vs the scanned output of vote totals. Those did not match here in Centre County by apx 13K votes. Once added, those votes substantially changed outcomes and led to the outright reversals in multiple Centre County races.\n\nCentre County BOE now shows vote totals over 80K votes. Apx. 6% above 2020 turnout. In my professional opinion every county in PA as well as many in WI, MI and GA currently reporting lower vote totals vs. 2020 and/or also experienced a distraction bomb threat should undertake the same process My professional opinion is: many thousands of voters are being disenfranchised, likely by a malicious actor via errors in tabulation software. My concern has been proven correct and warranted here in Centre County PA.\n\nESignature - Stephen R.

{'comment': "I could go on all day, but after reading many varying perspectives, a few consistent things come to me. I'll try and limit this to 5 major points and some candidate suggestions.\n\n1. The playbook from 2016 and 2024? Burn it. The Obama era stuff no longer works, and we don't have candidates with the charisma of Obama to sell it.\n\nAlso, and I can't stress this enough, cease all the blaming and pointing fingers against other Dems/left leaners, and especially against moderates, right-leaners, Repubs, protest voters, etc. that are undecided or go for Trump or 3rd party. Let the policies and messaging do the talking. Good stuff and good messaging should equal good results. If you antagonize enough people through guilt-tripping and yelling, you are only going to lose. Find significantly better messaging (mostly related to economics) and find a much better balance for attacking and defending that does not exclusively talk about character or social policy. \n\n2. Renew/overhaul Democratic leadership. I think Pelosi and some company have to go and the Dems need to think younger and more populist. I'm not talking about Bernie or someone explicitly close to him, but someone who is able to navigate the working class and can sell broadly progressive policies through economic unification and messaging. In other words, find someone who is essentially a modern-day old-school type of Democrat that resembles the party's roots of being for the poor and working class.\n\nThe current democratic party has a stench of elitism and doner-coddling that may require a top-down leadership overhaul to alleviate. The Repubs have a stench of elitism and billionaire-coddling as well, but they are much better at making it look otherwise.\n\n3. Policies > ideology... to a certain extent. The absolute last things the Dems should do is give up on social progressivism. Without it, leftists and center-leftists most concerned with social-policy have no-one to go for, and them staying home, or voting for a Bernie-type 3rd party would be something the Dems would frankly have coming to them. These people aren't the majority of voters, but they aren't a negligable group either. Plus, giving up on social progress would be a moral disaster that will only cause things to get worse.\n\nBasically, to assist with better messaging and turnout, the Dems need to get their heads out of their ass and stress good policies over blaming and attacking all the time. Hopefully them losing the popular vote makes them realize this, because 2016 didn't.\n\n4. Have real primaries, and don't choose the candidate like in 2016 and 2024. We all remember the debacle in 2016 with Hillary and Bernie. That was a huge self-inflicted wound that they never tried to alleviate, and it cost us hugely. 2020 was different, and Biden did throw Bernie supporters enough to help out and help create a big tent.\n\n2024 was a mess for other reasons. Biden dropped out way too late despite his internal polling showing Trump at \\~400 EVs after the debate. The Dems lied to everyone by sticking with him and saying he was the best candidate in public, which was a blunder. Then Biden drops out late, and instead of doing a snap-primary, they immediately go with Harris.\n\nNow, I am not going to directly blame Harris for this. There was plenty of debate at the time on whether a snap-primary should've happened or not. It would've been tough to pull off, but at the same time, considering Biden's unpopularity, immediately going with someone so close to Biden was another error. If Harris survived a snap-primary, it might've helped a bit. If she won, then you don't have a huge sentiment that Harris was chosen by the establishment over the people. If she lost, then you could properly let the people choose and get some more of the Biden stench off the chosen candidate.\n\nNevertheless, the Dems have to desperately stop with the establishment and doner picks and exclusively let the primary voters choose.\n\n5. Attack with policies and solutions, not exclusively with character.\n\nVoters generally don't care about character. If they did, Trump would've been done with long ago. Attacking Trump and potential voters on character failed miserably and made us look very bad and very stupid. We have to keep some personal thoughts to ourselves and try more to unify instead of divide.\n\nCandidates (based off what I know):\n\nHarris and Walz: They are done. You could have Walz back at the next DNC as a speaker, but Harris is just done. It wasn't all her fault, but it is what it is.\n\nNewsom: Not too sure of him, but off the bat, he seems too close to Biden and the establishment. Lots of folks are wary of California, so I feel like Newsom could backfire.\n\nButtigieg: I really like him, but him being gay might be several bridges too far for middle America.\n\nShapiro: Could work depending on the climate, but him being Jewish could hurt him.\n\nAOC: Way too easy of a target right now. I don't think she's as bad as what many think, but the current climate is just poison for her.\n\nWarren and Sanders: Way too old, but closer to the sort of populist messaging that the Dems could move towards.\n\nBeshear, Ossoff, Cooper, Warnock, and Brown seem to be some options who could work, but all of it depends on what happens over the next few years and what the national mood is.", 'created': '2024-11-10 01:11:52', 'submission_id': '1gnlw9n'}

{'comment': 'This is where we go from here:\n20 Lessons from Last Century:\n\n1. Do not obey in advance. Much of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then start to do it without being asked. You’ve already done this, haven’t you? Stop. Anticipatory obedience teaches authorities what is possible and accelerates unfreedom.\n\n2. Defend an institution. Follow the courts or the media, or a court or a newspaper. Do not speak of “our institutions” unless you are making them yours by acting on their behalf. Institutions don’t protect themselves. They go down like dominoes unless each is defended from the beginning.\n\n3. Recall professional ethics. When the leaders of state set a negative example, professional commitments to just practice become much more important. It is hard to break a rule-of-law state without lawyers, and it is hard to have show trials without judges.\n\n4. When listening to politicians, distinguish certain words. Look out for the expansive use of “terrorism” and “extremism.” Be alive to the fatal notions of “exception” and “emergency.” Be angry about the treacherous use of patriotic vocabulary.\n\n5. Be calm when the unthinkable arrives. When the terrorist attack comes, remember that all authoritarians at all times either await or plan such events in order to consolidate power. Think of the Reichstag fire. The sudden disaster that requires the end of the balance of power, the end of opposition parties, and so on, is the oldest trick in the Hitlerian book. Don’t fall for it.\n\n6. Be kind to our language. Avoid pronouncing the phrases everyone else does. Think up your own way of speaking, even if only to convey that thing you think everyone is saying. (Don’t use the internet before bed. Charge your gadgets away from your bedroom, and read.) What to read? Perhaps “The Power of the Powerless” by Václav Havel, 1984 by George Orwell, The Captive Mind by Czesław Milosz, The Rebel by Albert Camus, The Origins of Totalitarianism by Hannah Arendt, or Nothing is True and Everything is Possible by Peter Pomerantsev.\n\n7. Stand out. Someone has to. It is easy, in words and deeds, to follow along. It can feel strange to do or say something different. But without that unease, there is no freedom. And the moment you set an example, the spell of the status quo is broken, and others will follow.\n\n8. Believe in truth. To abandon facts is to abandon freedom. If nothing is true, then no one can criticize power, because there is no basis upon which to do so. If nothing is true, then all is spectacle. The biggest wallet pays for the most blinding lights.\n\n9. Investigate. Figure things out for yourself. Spend more time with long articles. Subsidize investigative journalism by subscribing to print media. Realize that some of what is on your screen is there to harm you. Learn about sites that investigate foreign propaganda pushes.\n\n10. Practice corporeal politics. Power wants your body softening in your chair and your emotions dissipating on the screen. Get outside. Put your body in unfamiliar places with unfamiliar people. Make new friends and march with them.\n\n11. Make eye contact and small talk. This is not just polite. It is a way to stay in touch with your surroundings, break down unnecessary social barriers, and come to understand whom you should and should not trust. If we enter a culture of denunciation, you will want to know the psychological landscape of your daily life.\n\n12. Take responsibility for the face of the world. Notice the swastikas and the other signs of hate. Do not look away and do not get used to them. Remove them yourself and set an example for others to do so.\n\n13. Hinder the one-party state. The parties that took over states were once something else. They exploited a historical moment to make political life impossible for their rivals. Vote in local and state elections while you can.\n\n14. Give regularly to good causes, if you can. Pick a charity and set up autopay. Then you will know that you have made a free choice that is supporting civil society helping others doing something good.\n\n15. Establish a private life. Nastier rulers will use what they know about you to push you around. Scrub your computer of malware. Remember that email is skywriting. Consider using alternative forms of the internet, or simply using it less. Have personal exchanges in person. For the same reason, resolve any legal trouble. Authoritarianism works as a blackmail state, looking for the hook on which to hang you. Try not to have too many hooks.\n\n16. Learn from others in other countries. Keep up your friendships abroad, or make new friends abroad. The present difficulties here are an element of a general trend. And no country is going to find a solution by itself. Make sure you and your family have passports.\n\n17. Watch out for the paramilitaries. When the men with guns who have always claimed to be against the system start wearing uniforms and marching around with torches and pictures of a Leader, the end is nigh. When the pro-Leader paramilitary and the official police and military intermingle, the game is over.\n\n18. Be reflective if you must be armed. If you carry a weapon in public service, God bless you and keep you. But know that evils of the past involved policemen and soldiers finding themselves, one day, doing irregular things. Be ready to say no. (If you do not know what this means, contact the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and ask about training in professional ethics.)\n\n19. Be as courageous as you can. If none of us is prepared to die for freedom, then all of us will die in unfreedom.\n\n20. Be a patriot. The incoming president is not. Set a good example of what America means for the generations to come. They will need it.\n\nAmericans are no wiser than the Europeans who saw democracy yield to fascism, Nazism, or communism. Our one advantage is that we might learn from their experience. Now is a good time to do so. \n\n                -Timothy Snyder', 'created': '2024-11-10 01:11:36', 'submission_id': '1gnlw9n'}

{'comment': 'Individually, we need to call and treat MAGA for what it is, collective narcissism. Just like dealing with a narcissist on and individual level, that means:\n\n1. When confronted on why we associate with our friends, family and allies, give them an answer that mimics their strongest held beliefs. For christian nationalists that sounds like "love thy neighbor" for racists that sounds like "we\'re all human" for misogynists "we\'re all equals" and then do not give them any more room for argument or justification.\n\n2. Avoid emotional reactions, because it is through those reactions that MAGA types vilify democrats, and how they self-victimize when held to account. Even now, there are people making excuses for Nick Fuentes, saying he shouldn\'t be threatened and doxxed because of his statements, after he blatantly made such an abhorrent statement.\n\n3. If you\'ve ever lost a friend to someone with a stronger personality, or even a blatant narcissist, you know that they become beyond talking to in a reasonable and civil context. It is best to cut those relations off, they already took the words of a complete stranger that does not care about them over yours. People that have embraced the words of a narcissist weigh the narcissist\'s words more heavily, until the narcissist turns on them, until their self-interest is put at risk.\n\n4. Personally, my grandmother and I were the only ones to vote for Kamala. I am isolated from my family now. I am soon to be divorced to someone that supported MAGA, after 10 years of listening to her agree with and espouse progressive policy and ideas. Luckily I had friends to turn to. Luckily I have some support. We need to offer that support to those that lost the most in this election. I opened up my home to friends ostracized and cut off by their MAGA families. I offer it up to anyone that reads this that have lost the same. I\'m a disabled vet with passive income, we can figure out bills later. \n\n5. If you\'re going to argue and attack them, hit them where it hurts, their ego. Examples of effective attacks:  "Only weak men seek to control women\'s bodies."  "That sounds very Christ-like, where in scripture does it condone that?" "How have you been directly affected by LGBTQ? Oh..so you haven\'t." "Where did you read that? Oh, so not a verified source just social media?" "You don\'t sound like you\'ve researched this very much if you\'re telling me to look it up." ect.\n\n6. MAGA has a stronger political identity, and it is incredibly good at being divisive. I think the best example of this is in how quickly Democratic groups turned on each other after the results of this election. You do not come back stronger by admonishing people in a generalized direction. Research shows people vote with who they feel is most sociopolitically proximal to themselves. You do not beat MAGA, or narcissism by acting like MAGA or narcissism. You beat MAGA by being as inclusive, empathetic and understanding as possible. Do not condemn those who didn\'t vote, do not condemn populations where you lost the most support, that only ostracizes them even more and the only place they will turn is MAGA because they do no feel welcome here.', 'created': '2024-11-10 16:32:26', 'submission_id': '1gnlw9n'}

Trump didn’t gain that many voters from last time but the Democrats definitely lost a bunch of support and instead of blaming the voters like they’ve been doing in heyday need to look inward.

Conservatives are all over new media, websites, podcasts, etc. Democrats have a tendency to just crawl into a hole once they're elected. They can't do that. \n\nOne example: David said he has asked Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for an interview. A progressive talk show host wanting to interview a progressive politician.\n\nOf the twenty times he's asked over the years, 18 times he got no response, and twice he got a notice of rejection.\n\nThis isn't just a David Pakman thing....progressive media can't get ahold of our people. (Note: There are a handful of our people who are regularly doing interviews and talking with the people, notably Ro Khanna, Mark Pocan, Greg Casar)\n\nSo while Conservatives spend all year campaigning in television and any media they can find, Democrats think doing a podcast once two weeks before an election is enough to get the message out. It isn't. \n\nDemocrats don't have a Daily Wire.

I think we need a show-mock convention in 2026, just so that the democratic party can just see what is being offered by its leaders and go from there.

Stop depending on the MSM like MSNBC, NBC, CNN, NYTs, The Washington Post and all the other papers, and The View being the image of the "Liberal/Dem Media"\n\nWe need a lot of work to reframe the party back to the Working Class and no longer being associated with the "Idea of Wokeness or the Elites or the Establishement". Because that shit is killing us at the top of the ballot but especially down ballot. We keep hearing it in Texas. That the Dem party has left them. Well all the image they get of the Dem party are all those talking heads on MSM, Papers, and whatever content they run into on social media. \n\nWe need a Machine of info running all yr every yr. Not a freaking collection of funds every 2-4 yrs. By that point, the American people have seen and heard a bunch of lies and bullshit that we come towards the end trying to fight down. All the transphobia needs to be addressed. I\'m legit. We don\'t need to throw the subject and them under the bus. But it sure as hell needs to be addressed, because the American people are clearly falling for the disinformation. And in turn more and more of our rights are being chipped away\n\nWe need to Stop running on labels like "Progressive", stop being "weird" to the normy\'s. The labels have a shadow running right behind them. People just think of Progressives and Dems literally as demons at this rate. To overcome the shadow, we need to change. We need to restablish our cause for the working class people. And do not divide them by race. We don\'t need to continue repeating our progressive values. We don\'t need to be running on that all the time, I\'m legit. People literally think that all the Dem Party stands for is for LGBT people and Immigrants. And thats it. Sure we want to better rights, but the day to day people worry more about their economy and economic oppurtunities. \n\nWe know we need to pass a lot of shit. But we need to win votes to get power to do the shit we need to do. At the end of the day, we all know that wealth equality in this country is really killing us politically. And its why it was much easier for Drumpf to cater to many people. The assumption always is for some fucking reason that Republicans are better at the economy than Democrats\n\n(Also none of these people, I feel like we keep dropping little time bombs that we keep getting rejected, time after time, election after election. Love them, but def not a representation for the whole country. We\'re just too different with the baggage they carry) We need to focus on the working class and more populism economic talking points!

I will tell you that if I use more than 3, 3 syllable words in a row use a word unintentionally that causes them to have to ask the definition or meaning, or have to give an explanation for anything I know that they don\'t, I\'m a "know-it-all" and I\'ve immediately lost them by talking over them. \n\nI even noticed my mom getting frustrated with Kamala and she\'s one of the other more liberal minds in the family (and not a college grad. Like I said, there are a couple in my family, but not more than a handful when you count them) at the way she had to ask me what she meant or what this law or term or policy was. \n\nUneducated (not stupid, although they do as well) people hate word salads, even if relevant, and will vote for the person that talks, sounds and acts like they do. \n\nWalz had more of a chance than Kamala did.', 'created': '2024-11-10 13:02:40', 'submission_id': '1gnlw9n'}

{'comment': 'You are closer than you think with the idea of people thinking of the Dems as "literal demons". Most of the reason why the GOP can\'t govern comes down to two things. \n\nOne is that, ever since Newt Gingrich allied the GOP with the Evangelicals and declared themselves to be "The Party of Jesus (tm)" a necessary first step to compromising with the Democrats to accomplish anything is perceived to be "Step 1: Turn your back on God."  \n\nThe other is that in the thirty-some years they\'ve spent as the Party of No, they\'ve never had an idea. Their entire platform is "Wait for Dems to try to do something for regular people. Then scream "No!!!" really loudly." The only thing they can agree that they really like is to cut taxes on the super rich, and drag about it while quietly raising them on regular Americans.   This is why so many Republicans run for office on the idea of "Government not onl doesn\'t work. It CAN\'T work.

The deal with Republicans came too late and of course they ultimately didn't agree thanks to Trump not wanting Biden to have a win right before the election. I think he and other Democrats were under the wrong impression that most Hispanic voters in the US side with the migrants and would turn against Democrats if they were seen as in any not empathetic to them. That is not the case whatsoever and I really hope Democrats have learned a lesson on that. They don't need to talk like Trump does but at least try harder to seem like they're taking it very seriously. The impression Democrats are much softer on illegal immigration (although looking at stats comparing Democratic and Republican presidents, is not true) also leads to more of those willing to attempt to try to do so.

It shows union and community as well. And we all need to realize too, that we all have different opinions about all kinds of things, about our country whether it be economic or social. And we should respect that. Like I said, there is much online/campus/tvcontent that are starting to represent our movement at this rate, and its being used against us. At the end of the day, we only get to protect the things we care about if we win power first, without the power you can\'t do shit. \n\nAnd we can\'t continue down this road, or things will get much much worse for our comminities. People no longer want the division of race, ethnicity, even gender at this rate. The last part is not part of anyone\'s business, but it sure as hell doesn\'t need to be what we\'re platforming. But we\'ll clean up parts of our act to not give them more time bombs. No more. Its hurting all of us at the end of it. \n\nI just want throw this out, but there are many Latino people who hate Latinx. Spanish in general is filled with gendered words. That\'s just how Spanish works. I just think, we\'re fighting the "dumbest" fights. The most important parts are protecting people\'s rights to exist in this country, and have access to healthcare and privacy. \n\nNot everyone is us, and they don\'t like being put in categories either. They don\'t want to be excluded from those groups because they don\'t fit into our bubbles. I\'ve heard this many times. People don\'t like Latinx, (you\'re changing the language), they don\'t like pronouns (people that are not in the community, don\'t need to be taking this mantle), and lastly we do need to stop thinking of people of pre-existing groups. We\'re partly doing all of this to ourselves, being well "acthuallyyy". I think the word minority has been abused. We\'re all Americans and some people will accept you, others won\'t. I just want to prevent our govs from hurting you, coming after you, and taking away your privacies. This world is getting ugly, it is moving more to the Right because the Right is very connected with other world leaders/continuing the Fascist Right movement. \n\nAnd lastly, another observation. We sure as hell are letting down white people in this country. Especially poor white people. People don\'t want to hear us dividing ourselves into categories and leaving them out of it. People of all groups see it as racism. And as much as we agree or disagree with all I\'ve said, there are ways to address all of it without giving up on people\'s actual rights, but addressing the dumb attacks that will come at us.', 'created': '2024-11-10 17:35:26', 'submission_id': '1gnlw9n'}

{'comment': 'I think you\'re only half right.  The Dems *are* centrist by majority, and progressives tend to refuse to accept this.  But Harris ran heavily to center in this election and it didn\'t work.  There weren\'t enough votes.  I also think most (not all but most) progressives did vote for her and that still wasn\'t enough.  Assuming we even get another election, the next four years needs to be about building a coalition between the center and left, and that will require concessions from both sides.  The center HAS to accept that younger more progressive generations are going to want to move forward more quickly than they might be comfortable with and are going to have to let go some policy red lines.  Meanwhile progressives HAVE to learn how to compromise and drop their purity tests for candidates; they need to learn to vote for people who they don\'t agree with on all issues.  \n  \nThe fact is that both wings need to work together if we *ever* expect to win an ekecin this country again.  Otherwise neither the centrists or progressives get what they want.  And that\'s exactly how Hitler came to power.  The progressives and moderates in pre-Nazi Germany outnumbered the fascists, but they stubbornly and adamantly refused to work together.  The rest is history.  Compromise or die, and when I say "die" I don\'t mean it figuratively.

So DJT got their votes this time, and in 2 years when eggs and gas aren’t free and their economic situations are worse, they’ll vote hard the other way. They are looking for someone to fix all their problems while they simultaneously undermine their own security. No one can help these folks no matter how hard some of us try, and we all know Trump doesn’t care for anyone but himself. Further, the billionaire and corporations, who fund elections and thus control legislation and elected officials, use and discard this group time after time.  There is no explaining business 101 or economics to these folks, they are not interested. They want someone to fix their problems NOW because they cannot (most) or will not (few) fix their problems themselves. I’ll I can say is I tried. All those Trump supporters who scream “liberals, blah, blah” you hurt yourselves with your vote, far more than you hurt me.

I think they had high hopes that the house committee would effectively put a stop to Trump. It turned out to be wrong. But it was not an unreasonable strategy. \n\nIt\'s time to move beyond looking to blame Democrats for what happened.

{'comment': "There's a difference between executive actions and executive orders. An executive order is one type of executive action. And yes, any executive orders Biden enacts could be undone by Trump. Unless undoing it would be so unpopular that Trump would refuse to do so... but I doubt there's much that would fall into that camp given Trump's lack of shame.\n\nOn the other hand, nominating judges is an executive action that can't easily be undone. There are no Supreme Court openings, but there's still plenty of federal judge openings to fill, and he's doing that. Judges can be nominated and confirmed by the president and Senate, but to remove a judge requires impeaching and convicting them - something Trump demonstrated is quite difficult to do even when there is good cause to do so.\n\nI don't know the details of which falls under this, but there are other federal positions like this too. The more of those Biden fills now, the harder it will be for Trump to put in his own loyalists later.\n\nI suspect there are other actions Biden can take that have staying power, but I'm not sure what those are. That's what OP is hoping to learn, though some people are making some wild claims on what he can do that don't hold up (like packing the court isn't going to happen now, for instance - he'd have had to do that when he had majorities in the House *and* Senate, and didn't have the votes to do it then anyway since if he tried Manchin and Sinema at a mimimum would have refused).", 'created': '2024-11-09 19:49:55', 'submission_id': '1gndryj'}

That won't happen, because Republicans control the House. Even if Democrats controlled the House, it still would be unlikely because it would lead to escalation of parties expanding the court to suit their needs every time they get a trifecta.\n\nFDR expanding the court was a credible threat because he had MASSIVE majorities in the House and Senate. Like they were 70% to 80% Democrat during some of his terms. The fact that he could credibly threaten this was a major reason the New Deal wasn't challenged too hard, because they didn't want to see court expansion happen.\n\nEdit: What Biden CAN do is nominate as many judges as possible to other federal courts - he is already doing this from what I've read. And he can also ensure as many other positions that can't be fired by the president as possible are filled. I believe he's doing this as well.

So the employees at Twitter or wherever may very well be donating more to Democrats, but a particularly wealthy donor can dump as much as they want into a PAC as long as the PAC pinkie-promises that they are spending their money independently of a candidate’s campaign, and that won’t show up as a donation to a Republican candidate even if the PAC pushes that candidate’s narrative.  I’m pretty convinced that all those individual PAC donations are not well reflected in the data.', 'created': '2024-11-09 22:49:27', 'submission_id': '1gncxf8'}

The fact that there wasn’t any evidence of widespread voter fraud (and there were definitely votes for Trump with the handful of voter fraud cases) or the fact recount after recount proved it was a free and fair election should have been enough to prove “election integrity” but that is not what politicians pointed to.

{'comment': 'Because everyone "thinks" they know why.  Everyone is an expert, just like they were all experts before the election, and were all wrong.  I\'m a 60-year-old "boomer" democrat and I can tell you why I think we lost.  \n  \n1.  The border.  When asked about open borders, our side deflects, and instead talks about the cruel policies of Trump, racism, the plight of people looking for a better life or to escape a dangerous country, but we never answer the question straight up!!  Two things can be true at the same time.  (1) We can believe America is the land of opportunity, send us your weak etc.  (2) And, we need have strict strong border enforcement policies, and openly state that it should be a priority.  We waited until the last minute to do something and by that time it looked disingenuous and even though Trump killed it, the people saw right through democrats and knew it was a political stunt rather than an important issue to the party running wanting to run the country.\n\n2.  Abortion. When asked if it\'s okay to abort a baby in the 3rd trimester or even "after being born" (as Trump claimed) when the mother and child are both healthy and viable, we once again deflect, talk around the subject, point to the hypocrisy of the GOP blah blah blah. And by doing so, people heard the answer as "yes, we believe a healthy woman should be able to murder a healthy child who is viable outside the womb in the 3rd trimester or even after birth".  Dodging the obvious answer is the same as saying yes it\'s okay and we democrats are okay with it.  And once again two things can be true at once (1) we support a womans right to choose" while also saying that we don\'t support murdering an infant in the 3rd trimester if both the mother and child are healthy and there is not risk.  \n\n3.  Voter ID\'s.  Why is this still a topic?  How many voters do you think are out there clamoring to vote but don\'t have a freaking ID, c\'mon this is stupid!  Guess what my fellow dems, those same fictitious voters you claim exist, are walking around with an iPhone and talking to ChatGPT and streaming movies!  If they\'re sophisticated enough to utilize modern tech, and sophisticated enough to understand the topics we\'re voting for, then they\'re sophisticated enough to get an ID!!  By arguing against this, we push people to the right because it sounds like we want undocumented people to vote for us, as the GOP falsely claims.  \n\n4.  Trans issues.  I know this is a complex and sensitive topic, and affects very few people, but it is held up by the MAGA cult as evidence of all other crazy claims they make. Can\'t we at least directly answer the basic question of whether or not a big burley looking man who appears to be a cisgender male claiming to be a female, shouldn\'t be allowed in a women\'s Lockeroom or bathroom, and say it out loud when we answer?  Can\'t we agree on the idea that a male who spends his life competing as a male and decides at the college level to come out as trans should not be able to use the body he created as man to compete against women?  Again, this is so rare it\'s ridiculous to even have to ponder, but this is how they paint us into a corner and by not saying we don\'t support that one miniscule example we confirm their claim, which flies in the face of our other claim of supporting women and Section 8 and all of the other things feminists fought to win.  We can state we don\'t agree with this one example while still supporting all other trans and LGBTQ issues. \n\nWe need more Bill Clinton, Barak Obama, Jon Stewart, and Bill Mahar types of straight-talking democrats who aren\'t afraid to answer the questions head on even when it\'s uncomfortable and appears contradictory to our message of inclusion.  Our "woke agenda" is so scary to them that the same people who voted for Obama and then Biden in 2020, ran into the arms of Project 2025 and it\'s serial sexual assaulting criminal insurrectionist who openly support the most radical right wing racist misogynistic xenophobic positions I\'ve seen in my 60 years.  Let that sit for a while.  How BAD is our message that this is even possible?  It\'s time to look in the mirror people.', 'created': '2024-11-09 14:04:25', 'submission_id': '1gn2ujc'}
{'comment': 'it\'s one of several reasons. to me, the real reason is us harris voters and supporters (i\'m an independent) were blinded by the hype of record voter registration.

"we trust women." maga\'s constant gaffes against women. the oath and honor of the president. character.

{'comment': "I've thought a lot about this article, and I'm so curious why MSNBC and The Daily Show doesn't drown out or swamp Fox, and I think it's just there are thin margins between the conservative and the liberal instinct, one is less precise with the truth and the smugness and sense of right and the love of a strongman, I mean I don't really meet that many pure conservatives, who just don't want federal government and want lower taxes, it's all jumbled up in other complications and untruths, paranoid fantasies. Maybe they're just stupid and want to believe Trump will lower inflation, and then when it hits, they'll find other ways to believe in him, who knows. There is left wing media, they used to whine about how it was all left wing media. People like the permission not to be virtuous, to break the rules, to just be themselves in all their faint racism and misogyny. When there was just a mainstream media that was middle of the road, people didn't feel like they existed, and now you can find someone on a YouTube channel that will tell you it's normal to think the way you do, keep doing it, don't try and change, you don't need to strive for virtue. That's the weirdest thing, conservatives used to cloak their ideology in virtue and uprightness, and now they value being honest in their greed and grievances. How they connect it to religiosity, I don't know, maybe that's the package of hypocrisy, permission to be without integrity. They're a grubby greedy sex fiend, and so is our leader. We've yet to grow into the information age, these are some serious growing pains, America has always been an adolescent on the global stage, wildly idealistic, with wild swings in personality as we try on different persona.

From 2016 to 2020, mainstream and social media had a string of 4 years of horror story to report and Democrats won.\n\nIf it bleeds it leads. Fear runs the new cycle. The party in power IS the government. Most people typically don\'t trust or like the government. They think it\'s not efficient and doesn\'t do anything for them. Incumbents in Congress somehow buck this trend. "Congress sucks, except for my guy."\n\nFear is also a primary factor in getting people to vote. \n\nThanks to the internet, we can all play a role in shaping the narrative.

{'comment': 'Agreed on the border, we need a fresh take on the issue. I think tying border security and immigration reform to marijuana legalization could offer a path forward by framing it as cutting the cartels\' influence and cashflow.\n\nHard disagree on the other issues. Abortion is nuanced and so are people\'s views on it. The vast majority of Democrats are just straight up not saying what you\'re saying we are, and even then, we can be where most of the country is on abortion and be loud and proud about it: Legal for any reason to viability/for 1st trimester (not the same but roughly interchangable) and illegal with strong exceptions (health of the mother, serious birth defects, etc.) after.\n\nVoter ID isn\'t a real topic. It was made up by Republicans to suppress voters. Most people don\'t care. Even then, I\'ve always thought it was bizarre that we didn\'t take the wind out of Republican\'s sails on the issue by agreeing to voter ID laws, but sending every adult citizen a free ID when they turn 18 and registering them to vote at the same time. Make having it a requirement to graduate high school, drive, buy a car, have credit, open a bank account, etc. In short, a national ID card like other countries have and a proper replacement for SSNs.\n\nTrans rights, again, ceding ground to the bigots ain\'t the play here, chief. People should be free to live as they choose. That\'s the fundamental promise of America. Education is also desperately needed on this as well, because so much of what you wrote on trans people is flat-out false, even if you believe it. On the sports "issue" specifically (which isn\'t an issue because there have been all of 4 trans athletes in all of college sports in the last 20 years across the whole country), again, we don\'t cede the argument, we change the terrain. Sports leagues should be based on ability, not sex. There are exceptional cis women that can absolutely keep up with men in their sport, but they\'re not allowed to compete together. That isn\'t fair and keeps women athletes from really being able to capitalize on their abilities like male athletes are.\n\nThe "woke agenda" isn\'t real. It\'s a bogeyman made up by right-wing media, the same as voter fraud and the trans athlete "controversy". The answer to the charge of "wokeness" is not to abandon the marginalized and attacked communities to their fates at the hands of Republicans. We should instead focus on building our coalition to include those that feel excluded by it, especially white, working class men, by talking about and proposing solutions to their issues just like we do other pieces of our coalition. Suicide prevention, mental health care, the loneliness crisis, offering an alternative to toxic masculinity, expanding union size and power, fair wages for fair work, etc. are all issues that hit other demographics too but are primarily felt by white men. People attack the "woke agenda" and "wokeness" because they aren\'t secure in themselves- financially, mentally, socially, etc. Ceding on the issues won\'t solve that and will get many marginalized people killed. Helping them solve their problems will.\n\nFundamentally, the article linked in OP\'s post is correct. The media- right-wing media especially- is the single largest reason we lost this election, right up there with the global backlash to inflation against incumbent parties. Misinformation and lies are rampant and we cannot possibly debunk them all because they come too fast. We need a real focus on media literacy in education, to teach kids how to recognize misinfo when they see it. Ideally, we\'d do that on a federal level, but we\'re not in control there. Blue states should still do it, and we should try to take over as many school boards as possible to influence things at that level, as Republicans have been doing for decades now.', 'created': '2024-11-09 18:59:38', 'submission_id': '1gn2ujc'}

Bad quarter?  Here come the layoffs.  American workers are too expense?

Billionaires hoarding all of the wealth and influencing policies to keep it that way and probably make it even worse with this incoming administration as that’s who Trump caters to.\n\nEven the perceived “good” parts of decades ago can never be that way again and I sense so many uninformed white people, especially males tie in consciously or subconsciously that before women and POC were suppressed and stayed in the background that things were “better” so they must be the problem and an excuse to not be accountable for their own shortcomings and failures.  \n\nTrump goes on about this all of the time and the media are more than happy to give him a stage for it as Trump equals eyeballs / clicks and most media is run by billionaires so he goes on about what a victim he is and how things aren’t fair, especially to white males and seemingly Latino and Black males have moved over towards him compared to voting for a a woman which is MIND BOGGLING to me.\n\nI hope the existing Biden / Harris administration for the last few months can do everything they can to put in guardrails and safety nets to help protect us all during the next 2 (midterms) , 4 (the end of Trump, hopefully) to survive this as a nation.\n\nElizabeth Warren wrote a GREAT piece on what the Democrats can do even assuming they lose the majority of the House (they are still counting but it looks like it’s going red), along with the POTUS, Senate and I’ll include SCOTUS with that even after the switchover in January.  At least with congress the Republicans are a super majority for those familiar with how things get passed and what’s required to make really big changes in things.', 'created': '2024-11-09 13:57:04', 'submission_id': '1gn2ujc'}

That\'s an uphill battle\n\n\nSure, the Democrats could start rebranding themselves today and try to reclaim a part of the American culture, but the damage has already been done. In the mind of the average American, Democrats don\'t represent America in a deep cultural way that the Republicans do.\n\n\nI\'d like to be challenged here. I\'ve been thinking about why the standards over the two parties are different for years, and that\'s my conclusion. That the standards aren\'t so much different. It\'s that the parties are playing at different leagues.', 'created': '2024-11-09 16:48:15', 'submission_id': '1gn1sxg'}

It’s not a coincidence that reached a breaking point in 2020. \n\nRather than address the issue, he and his campaign decided to spin it into a campaign issue. They were fueling the chaos some protests turned into. The bootleg militias were allowed and encouraged to get involved as a way to incite. The objective was to show “Joe Biden’s America” and somehow give the impression Trump was the strong one (like bootleg militias claiming they had to show up because nobody else was stopping it somehow demonstrated that) and the “law and order” candidate that is now a felon still claiming to be the law and order candidate. \n\nTwo days ago a Trump voter asked me why Biden and Harris let cities burn. It took a minute to realize he was referring to the summer of 2020.

Every four years, the DNC runs elections the same as our grandparents DNC.  It’s Vietnam all over again; they are fighting with conventional uniformed war tactics against boobytraps and snipers hiding in trees.\n5. Despite raising record breaking money every election, they ignore large, growing, obvious demographics and regions that are shooting off voluminous flares.

They don’t amplify the part of their message that is unique to the district or demographic, compounding a voters invisibility.  Then, with almost Shakespearean dramatics, the party scratches its collective head upon losing to an obvious trend they ignored.

Had Biden been the nominee, we would have lost New Hampshire, New Jersey, Minnesota, and possibly Virginia too. I wouldn’t even call them your traditional “failed candidates,” considering they were only given 3 months to campaign. Plus, Walz was the VP pick, not the presidential one. I doubt he had any substantial influence on who voters chose. \n\n“We lost *bad*” is a bit of a push. Harris might still win the popular vote, or at least she won’t lose it by much. She was within 2% of 4-5 of the swing states. The Senate was something we were destined to lose and we knew that, and the house is still a potential victory (or at the worst, a 4-6 seat disadvantage). Yes there was a national rightward shift, but it really was the inflation that did that.\n\nStill, I wouldn’t run Harris in 2028 and probably not Walz. They were good and I think would’ve done a nice job, but I wasn’t impressed by Harris’s interviewing and the “Trump is Hitler,” thing was NOT what the primary focus of their campaign should’ve been, but rather specifics on how they were going to help the middle class and reduce the cost of living.

We have shown we can’t elect a woman, white or black, we’re not electing a gay man. I’m sorry to say but we need a straight white man, good looking, young, and probably from the south or rural west to run. He should run on progressive policies but every other aspect of him should be ‘traditional’.

Despite Bush's fuckery on 9/11 and the Iraq War, domestically speaking the country was still progressing on social issues (because he didn't empower his supporters to openly obstruct and intimidate others). Also Bush hired people like Colin Powell and others based on qualifications. Trump, no so much.\n\nLike Trump was the worst president we ever had, and to try to paint Bush as doing more damage is just more misinformation and bs.\n\nIf anything 9/11 fucked us more than anything.

I could see him taking the attacks of being called socialist with showing what he's done for Vermont all these years, lowering unemployment there, improving Vermont's economy  etc. As the longest serving independent he has a lot to show for it without any scandal.\n\nHe could focus on being an independent and further himself away from bipartisan issues and focus on what's wrong with both Dems and repubs. He's already been criticizing the DNC and Dem party with the Harris loss. \n\nThere's so much wrong with our political two party system, both sides know it, and Bernie is the only one who has defeated that and ran and led successfully as an independent candidate in his home state.\n\nI do agree, he has been labeled a socialist in the past but here's ways to get over that, IMO. Bernie calls himself a democratic socialist, even though that term gets conflated with communism and socialism, which it is not. \n\n(((For those who don't know : We do have democratic socialist policies in place for decades that make our country run well that could be focused on : dem socialist policies is how we fund bridges, roads, parks, fire depts, libraries, unions, progressive tax policies, min wage, unemployment insurance. NIH, NPR, Medicare, social security, US armed forces are examples of national scale democratic socialist policies. Personally the whole damn word needs a revamp, since it gets conflated with communism or socialism. It's funny to me how there is not one true demo socialist country, only policies  ))))\n\nI think another big hurdle for Bernie if he ran is that he is jewish, and could alienate Arab voters, Muslim voters, pro Palestine gen z , perhaps also conservative christian voters.\n\nHe would need a campaign that focuses on major online presence... Doing podcasts.. going on Hot Ones, getting out of his comfort zone and letting younger campaign managers come up with slogans and merch to really target the chronically online that get their news and info sources from social media because in 4 years that will only be more prevalent among society and younger voters", 'created': '2024-11-09 17:47:26', 'submission_id': '1gn186x'}

Obama's 2008 performance would be right around there as well, sitting at around 76.6 million votes-- after accounting for population growth.   \n  \nWhat would be much more accurate- and interesting to look at- is a chart with what percent of the voter base decided to show up and vote for president.

{'comment': 'Kind of. I think the Democrats must engage in something I\'m calling "realpedagogic". They have to pepper their language with actual pedagogy that teaches, in situ, how to think. You can get the information to the cherry pickers, but you can\'t make them read or process it. They are, above all, cherry pickers. Therefore, the pedagogic "moment" or thing that has to be in the language of the Left all over the place is raising concerns specifically about cherry picking.\n\nThis might sound like it\'s not feasible. But Obama did such a pedagogic thing when he talked about "false choices", saying the Republicans were putting up a "false choice" about health care coverage and other things. To introduce the idea of the false choice as such is not something specific to health care; it\'s about decision making, choices and thinking. And he used it, a lot. It was sufficiently abbreviated, and sufficiently simple, to float right in the flow of his discourse to the people. \n\nLikewise, someone like Harris could have peppered her language with a lot of talk about cherry picking. Others could do so. There should be an anti-cherry picking movement. It should start to be everywhere, just like cherry picking is everywhere on the Right, in the Q rabbit holes and pasted on the walls of mass shooters\' basements. \n\nThere is no way around it; cherry picking is an irreducible thing that must be named as such. It involves saying the words *cherry picking*, and pointing out where and how it is happening. It is possible to teach people how to think, and like it or not, it is absolutely necessary.\n\nIt is possible to enter into dialogue with people on the Right without announcing your alignment/tribe. Rather, you can just say that you are upset at how much cherry picking is going on. They will likely agree. The conversation can then proceed. Focusing on cherry picking rather than camp frees people up to meet in a different way and can open the door to getting them on board with what the Democrats really are about, because...they Democrats are, a bottom, the anti-cherry picking party.', 'created': '2024-11-09 03:49:33', 'submission_id': '1gmxx08'}

But it wasn’t easy. To silence\xa0*Sabah*\xa0and other newspapers, Erdogan had to use the tax authority, the courts, call for public boycott of newspapers and threaten individual journalists publicly — eventually forcing media owners to sell off. After\xa0*Sabah*, the Turkish government focused on other distressed media holdings, provided the financial support for cronies to buy them, and over the years passed anti-terrorism legislation to stifle free speech. In 2017, Erdogan finally held a referendum on expanding his presidential powers and consolidated power.\n\n>Even in an imperfect democracy like Turkey, it took a full decade from 2007 to 2017 for Erdogan to gain full compliance and transfer media ownership to his cronies. Similarly in Poland, the recently ousted Law and Justice Party tried to reshape the media landscape after they took power in 2015 by turning state broadcasters into partisan hacks — but made only incremental progress during their eight years in power. That kind of takeover is doable in the U.S. too, but it would take longer than four years.\n\n\n\n>Another major hurdle that will slow down Trump’s path toward dictatorship is the emergence of cities as liberal strongholds, with younger Democratic governors and mayors as opposition leaders. Democracies that have experienced an illiberal transformation have all seen big cities emerge as strongholds for dissent and liberal values, with charismatic mayors often becoming the public face of opposition.

{'comment': 'Do not give up on democracy, on our Constitution, on our rule of law.  \nBe Americans!\n\n\nBased on Snyder\'s "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century," passive compliance plays a crucial role in enabling tyrannical systems to take hold and flourish. Here are the key points about passive compliance from his analysis:\n\n1. Anticipatory obedience - Snyder emphasizes how people often begin obeying anticipated orders before they\'re explicitly given, smoothing the way for authoritarian control. This "voluntary submission" makes formal coercion less necessary.\n\n2. Small compromises - The gradual acceptance of small ethical compromises and minor violations of norms helps normalize increasingly authoritarian behavior. People rationalize each small step rather than drawing clear lines.\n\n3. Silent witnessing - When citizens witness troubling actions but remain silent, they become complicit. Their silence is interpreted as tacit approval and emboldens those pushing authoritarian agendas.\n\n4. Institutional surrender - When professional groups and institutions fail to actively resist erosion of their independence and instead adapt to authoritarian demands, they lose their ability to serve as checks on power.\n\n5. Bystander effect - The tendency for people to assume others will take action leads to collective inaction. Everyone waiting for someone else to resist means no one does.\n\n6. False sense of stability - People often convince themselves that things will return to normal on their own, leading them to tolerate what should be intolerable. This optimistic passivity enables further erosion of democratic institutions.\n\n7. Professional ethics abandonment - When professionals gradually abandon their ethical standards to accommodate new political realities, they become tools of the authoritarian system rather than independent actors.\n\n8. Fear of standing out - The natural human desire to blend in and avoid conflict makes people reluctant to be the first to object or resist, creating a spiral of silence.\n\nSnyder argues that active resistance and deliberate non-compliance are essential counters to tyranny. He emphasizes that democracy requires ongoing participation and defense, not passive hope that institutions will protect themselves.\n\nRead Snyder\'s book here:  \n\n\nhttp://drmalik.atw.hu/RM/snyder.pdf', 'created': '2024-11-08 23:58:04', 'submission_id': '1gmvmfw'}

It is the reason, tragically, human trafficking is a major problem. We have people cross the border illegally because there is a demand for cheap labor  that is largely unregulated. 7-8 million people would not come here if there wasn’t because it’s not like they can get a job on a payroll, legally.\n\nAmerica has largely exploited these individuals to maximize profit margins.

And let’s be honest, many of those jobs are not jobs Americans would leave their current jobs for and they certainly wouldn’t leave them for the pay rate that many of these migrants are working for.

{'comment': ">He was stalled and ran into a lot of snags. He ultimately deported less illegal immigrants than either of Obama's terms.\n\nI mean this lacks a lot of context. Yeah in total Obama deported more immigrants than Trump, But context matters. In Obama's second term 2013-16 he had 2.1 million deportations, while Trump from 2017-20 had 2 million deportations. So during those consecutive terms, the two presidents actually deported about the same rate. Now compare Obama full two terms total of about 5 million deportations to Bush 2's more than 10 million deportations, and in actuality Obama halved the amount of people getting deported from the previous administration. While Trump kept about the same pace as Obama. And in Trump's second term, it's safe to say he will likely surpass Obama's numbers.\n\nAlso again context matters, both in Obama's full two terms and Trump's first term they had things impeding their deportations, trials, lawsuits, a more honest media coverage. In Trump's second term the conservative federal courts and the conservative Supreme Court are fully on board with increasing deportations and racist billionaires have bought up the media. In Trump's first term, they didn't have a plan already mapped out and hadn't fully tested the loyalty of staff. This time around Trump was given a plan already and all of his inner circle has been tested to be fully loyal.\n\nLike the guardrails that were in place during both Obama's terms and Trump's first term are no longer there. If Trump wants to increase deportations, he absolutely can. And because he's a racist fuck, he absolutely will.\n\nAlso want to add, Obama's deportations at least tried to do it more humanely, focusing on those with criminal histories and the ones recently arrived (as those who arrived recently would have less ties and because deporting an undocumented immigrant that's been here 20 years was viewed as more damaging. Still sucks though). But Trump's deportations in his first term (and probably second term) didn't have a focus, his deportations didn't care if someone was a criminal or new immigrant or has been here a long time or even if they're children. We all saw this with the news reports of kids in detainment camps.

{'comment': 'What Democrats fail to learn from Trump is that, in a political battle, “extremism” works. In her concession speech, Harris said: “To the young people who are watching, it is OK to feel sad and disappointed, but please know it’s going to be OK.” No, everything is not going to be OK. We should not trust that future history will somehow restore balance or harmony. With Trump’s victory, the trend that elevated the new populist right in many European countries reaches its climax.\n\nTrump framed Harris as worse than Biden—not just a socialist, but even a communist. To confuse her stance with communism is a sad index of where we are today—a confusion clearly discernible in another often-heard populist claim: “The people are tired of far-left rule.” An absurdity if there ever was one. The neo-populists designate the (still) hegemonic liberal order as “far left.” But this order isn’t far left, it is simply the progressive-liberal center, which is much more interested in fighting (what little remains of) the left than confronting the new right, which seeks to use top-down power to allow the market to function “freely,” at its most destructive.\n\nThe idea Walz is pushing here “it’ll all be fine” shows how out of touch the democrats are right now; they won’t be the ones fucked over by trump and don’t really care about those who are', 'created': '2024-11-09 02:15:22', 'submission_id': '1gmsnq6'}

{'comment': 'Ok I did some research for you to answer your questions: so Walz has 2 years left in his Governor term. He could definitely run for Governor again, but no Governor in MN since WWII has successful won a 3rd term. Two years left means that he could easily run for a house or senate seat in 2026 though and I LOVE to see that! The UofM professor theorizes on CNN that because he lost VP, he may have a tougher road.. but I think that’s a load of shit as so many people loved him and got great recognition during the campaign. I suppose it depends on whatever the political analysts come up with to blame why the Dems lost. I’d love to see him run for House/senate and then his Lt Gov run for Governor! But he’s also 60 years old and will be 62 in two years.. maybe he wants to retire and do his thing which I would blame him for. He is definitely a MN guy and his family is close by, so I move to Washington would be a huge change. \n\nAs for the Lt Gov, Walz has said in interviews that he was still in charge of his duties as Gov during the campaign. He would take his work on the road and fly back to MN when needed. I’m sure the Lt Gov helped a lot with the random things though… that’s a lot of work!

{'comment': 'None of that matters now...Donald Trump has continued to prove himself right when he said he could "stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn\'t lose any voters, Ok?" The man claimed he could essentially murder someone in front of countless witnesses and people would still support him. I thought that was absurd, but I am now convinced that if that really did happen, people would just vilify the victim or say they had it coming or say it was self defense or something. Trump is an anomaly...something we\'ve not really ever witnessed in American politics except maybe to some extent with Huey Long. He is shameless to a degree that makes lying second nature. I\'m convinced he\'s a sociopath who feels no empathy and has no conscience, which enables his manipulation and gaslighting. He is literally immune from prosecution and unable to be held to account. And the saddest part is, he cares nothing for those who are so devoted to him. He would burn this country down just to rule the ashes. My only comfort is that I\'m confident history will judge him accordingly, but we\'re a long way away from that. It\'s 1934 Berlin right now, and he is our fuhrer...of course he shouldn\'t be allowed to take office. He shouldn\'t even have been able to run for President...neither should the Nazi Party been allowed to run after the Beer Hall Putsch but propaganda and populism...albeit fake populism...are very effective. \nI just hope it doesn\'t end up being as bad as it could be.

Guilt was proven, he was an illegitimate candidate on the ballot. \n\n“Not my president” has been overused and doesn’t fully express that. “Not *the* president” is more fitting.', 'created': '2024-11-09 06:03:41', 'submission_id': '1gmprdz'}

{'comment': '>Americans have done this to themselves during a time of peace, prosperity, and astonishingly high living standards. An affluent society that thinks it is living in a hellscape is ripe for gulling by dictators who are willing to play along with such delusions.\n>\n**The bright spot in all this is that Trump and his coterie must now govern**. The last time around, Trump was surrounded by a small group of moderately competent people, and these adults basically put baby bumpers and pool noodles on all the sharp edges of government. This time, Trump will rule with greater power but fewer excuses, and he—and his voters—will have to own the messes and outrages he is already planning to create.                   \n\nSorry, but there is no bright spot. **That\'s** whistling in the graveyard.            \n\nIf we were talking about a normal politician, the thought of riding out the storm for the next four years might make sense and has been the general response for decades. That won\'t apply here. The damage that Trump and acolytes will do (especially if he winds up with a Republican House to couple with the GOP Senate) will take a generation to undo, if it can be undone. It\'s possible Trump, the first truly fucking archcriminal I\'ve known about outside of a comic book, could wind up having put **SIX** justices on the Supreme Court. That won\'t be undone anytime soon. A unified government will give him the ability to enact just about every aspect that the American Taliban who wrote "Project 2025" wishes for. That unified government will also provide another huge payday for his billionaire buddies through tax cuts that will net them billions while the young people and middle class who voted for him get fucked with a spiked dildo.                    \n\nI almost fell out of my chair this morning when I heard Bob Woodward say the military won\'t do Trump\'s bidding. He\'s talking about them disobeying their commander-in-chief. If I tell my boss "No", I might get fired; these guys saying "No" sends them to Leavenworth. The Supreme Court has said Trump can instigate Justice Department investigations against his political enemies, or complete strangers. Whether you\'re Liz Cheney, or Lita from up the street marching against the White House in a pussy hat, fighting criminal charges ain\'t fun and it ain\'t cheap.                    \n\nThis country just took a massive shit and stepped in it. This country knowingly voted for authoritarianism after being told it was on the menu. Some talking head this morning posited most people in this country don\'t know what "fascism" means, so Trump being one didn\'t matter to them. I can buy that. I said months ago we didn\'t want to be in the realm of "fuck around and find out", but here we are. I don\'t say this as a pessimist; I don\'t say this as a defeatist; I say this as an experienced pragmatist who has a working knowledge of history.

{'comment': '>Trump and his surrogates created a fictional reality of who he is, what he would do for voters, and who Harris is.\n\nThis is a lie. Enough with trying make Trump supporters seem good. Trump didn\'t create a fictional reality. They did. His supporters want and agree with all his shit views and were all too happy to vote for someone like them. Hell if you volunteered at any level, the experience was largely the same. When confronted with facts and truth, Trump supporters didn\'t have answers and just yelled, raged, lied or changed the subject. If Trump supporters really were seduced into a "fictional reality" why do they constantly lie at polls saying they wouldn\'t vote for Trump? Why do the lie about abortion issues, saying it\'s a state\'s issue while actively pursuing nation wide bans? They weren\'t conned, they were all in on the plan and strategy from the beginning. That\'s how it with dealing with racists and sexists and authoritarians.\n\nThe truth is they weren\'t conned, they were active participants in authoritarianism that wanted their guy. It isn\'t at all surprising, you see this every day. Just look at all the sports teams with shit athletes who beat their wives, get in fights etc and teams throw millions at them and fans are all to willing to cheer for them, so long as their team can beat the other teams. That\'s it. People are willing to ignore someone\'s 90% shit qualities, as long as they can feel good in the moment.\n\nThe silver lining is though, if Trump does all the shit he says he will, the economy will drastically decline and mood will sour and these same people will probably swing back to Democrats faster than many expect.

I don\'t want the "this country is doomed" part to be true, but it\'s hard to see how we dig out of the disinformation we find ourselves in:\n\nThe answer is simple: the right wing has taken over most of the media. Of course we all know about Fox and Sinclair, but there\'s so much more to it than that--look at the LA Times and Washington Post situations--right wing billionaires are buying up media outlets and putting their thumbs on the scale. Then you have Twitter, one of the largest social media platforms, owned by one of the biggest Trump shills on the planet, while Zuckerberg over on Facebook is now saying stopping disinformation is a bad thing.\n\nSo when the right wing controls the good majority of the media people consume, Democrats are going to have a very hard time promoting their policies. It may already be too late to turn things around--if Harris loses this election, this country is doomed. If she wins, then serious steps need to be taken to curb the influence of a small handful of very rich bad actors over information, or it\'s only a matter of time before this country is lost for good.', 'created': '2024-11-09 15:13:36', 'submission_id': '1gmlg06'}

{'comment': "The reason it works though is not completely clear. I think that they want the misinformation geared towards them to be true as it gives them a shadow plausible deniability. Not the kind that you have one foot in believing so it might as well be true but the kind you get from the people above that is in turn cemented by your friends and neighbors who will quite literally ruin your social standing if you don't agree to go just go with the grain. Just look at the evangelicals and other extreme religions, if you defy any of their rules you risk complete and utter ostracization, banishment. It's so much easier and safer to just go along with it. \n\nThat's what half of their conspiracies are about us believing conspiracies. Because they can so easily understand a world where lies and gullibility, permeate every layer of society. They've been living in that cage for a long time. So, long that they take part in it willingly and try to turn the same table on us. \n\nIt doesn't work on us though. At least not like that. If you tell us lie it will be outed in under an hour, guaranteed. We're cynical and questioning and enough of goody two shoes to need to find the facts first and then ask questions. That's why Air America didn't really work. We don't need a media apparatus to tell us how to think. My experience is that we like details and facts and will figure out what we think about that, though that is changing pretty rapidly with social media.  I don't like to be bullied by my own group/allies for not understanding every aspect of every bit of political and social minutiae to prove my value.\n\nSo, yeah, their propaganda machine works well. They've purchased the majority of the airwaves that we weren't really using, they've bought billboard companies and ad space to propagate their message and the willingly gullible eat it up. That's the difference between us. They'll support their messaging even if they're outrageous lies because that's how they were brought up, not to question authority. We won't support messaging directed at us because authority smacks of lies and manipulation.\n\nOur mistake is our inability to support one another's agendas. Secondly, our inability to understand that not everyone can grow and adapt at the same pace and we punish those folks by coming down on them pretty ruthlessly.

But he did. \n\nPeople should never have chosen a convicted felon, rapist, and pathological liar who tried to overturn an election over literally anyone. But they did. \n\nThe right wins because they appeal to the lowest common denominator of fear. The DNC tries to appeal with reason, but when half the country operates at a 6th grade reading level or below, that strategy isn't going to work, especially if trying to tip toe around the very obvious issues concerning wealth inequality and the myriad issues that stem from that. \n\nIf the DNC only had the fucking spine to call out how low wages are relative to productivity and hammer home the point that the 1% keeps growing their wealth at the expense of the rest of us, then you've got a message that may have a chance against racism, misogyny, and all the other shit. \n\nPlease fucking wake up and realize that the DNC is ultimately working for money, and they're likely ineffective on purpose in order to get paid. \n\nPeople were predicting that the GOP would finally roll over and die with Trump's loss, but what we failed to see is that this may actually be the death of the DNC. As a lifelong Democrat voter, my faith in the leadership and direction that the party has been charting is at an all-time low. \n\nAnd again, this does not take away from all the shit being pulled on the right.

We have a bunch of little pieces here and there, if you know where to look. We\'ve got MSNBC, which has some good shows and some meh shows. CNN stopped being very left-friendly a while ago. There are some good streamers on YouTube (Beau of the Fifth Column comes to mind), but, again, its drips and drabs here and there, rather than one service you can continually stream.\n\nRupert Murdoch put together a media empire with the express purpose of, well, getting to here, where a (near?) majority of people watch its lies and believe them, and elect Republicans to office (who then proceed to help the billionaires like Rupert Murdoch, rather than the people that elected them).\n\nIf we can\'t make Fox go away, we need a very strong answer to it. A well-funded media service that attracts viewers because it tells the truth, pulls no punches on the about the right (like the endless sanewashing of Trump\'s speeches or the recent pattern of incessantly saying Biden was too old, but then forgetting that talking point the moment Trump was the oldest candidate), and while we\'re at it, offers editorial content / opinions with left-based viewpoint. I want a channel that has Rachel Maddow, and Chris Hayes, and Mehdi Hasan, and John Oliver, all in one place, and constantly hammering on every outrageous and illegal thing the right does, not letting things slide, because there\'s going to be an awful lot of fresh material over the next four years, at least. And, yeah, not *just* the right, call out bad things on both sides, as they happen (it\'s just that the right side of the aisle does a lot more that is illegal / unethical) - call out corporations that do bad things, whatever their persuasion (take a look at the wide variety of topics that John Oliver goes after - there\'s plenty to call out all over the map).\n\nAP reports mostly the news, from a fairly neutral viewpoint, but there\'s scant analysis, and no biting commentary to keep it interesting and focus attention on the outrageous bits. MSNBC has the commentary, but overall its content can be a bit hit-or-miss.\n\nAt this point, I\'d happily pay $10/mo just to have access to a livestream of MSNBC (with its flaws, its better than nothing). What I won\'t do is pay $50-$70/mo for cable TV (or one of the streaming equivalents), to get 80 channels, where *one* of them is MSNBC - and that\'s the only way it\'s available right now (they have apps on all the platforms, but it only works if you log into your TV provider, which I don\'t have).

I avoided politics at that point and it was still obvious she was pushing BS every class (it was English Comp 2). \n\nI’ve dealt with a lot of the hardcore MAGA people. Receipts are the logical approach. Logic doesn’t work to get someone out of a position they did not use logic to get into in the first place. \n\nI’m going to take a guess that MAGA grandma did not provide any receipts. If there is another attempt, try the approach of MAGA grandma having to prove she is right instead of taking on the task of proving she is wrong. State it is false without any points to prove that it is wrong. If she cannot back up her claims with receipts, her claims are confirmed/declared as false. Switching to another false claim is the standard move (or personal insults), don’t take the bait by letting the topic shift without closing the initial claim as false.

And yes, it is true that those in the 30k-100k income bracket significantly turned against Harris, regardless.\n\nIt's just so much more comforting for the individual voter to absolve themselves of their participation in this catastrophe by either not showing up to vote, or voting for the most heinous embodiment of human vice, because it is more comforting than coming to grips with their participation in making this happen. The Democrats didn't appeal to me/xyz because of whatever reason will continue to be the primary reason.\n\nIt's not to say the Democrats couldn't have done better -- I wish they inundated digital spaces better. But at the end of the day Harris ran a blitz campaign from start to finish in 100 days against an opposition campaigning for the last 8 years funded by oligarchs and billionaires, one of whom purchased an entire social media network.

It\'s honestly simpler than that. \n\nClearly logic is not something we can argue, nor is facts Mental Inertia and confirmation bias are two things which are WAY too easy to manipulate with logic. No, we need to appeal to emotion. And the first step in undoing this mess is to acknowledge that no matter where your political affiliations lie, your emotions are valid and to not discount them. Here\'s what I mean. Lets look at the issue of gun control. \n\nA conservative voter might say, and I\'m paraphrasing hyperbolically. "I need all the guns, It\'s my right!" I would ask, why do you need all the guns? And we\'ll get the answer of: "So if the government every comes marching I\'ll have something to defend myself!" but lets dig deeper. What\'s the emotion that fuels the opinion. Well that\'s fear, fear and anxiety of your way of life being changed, of not fully understanding the system and having it screw you over, of protecting your family.  \n\nDemocrats have this same fear, we have this same emotion, we just choose to try and fix it differently, ironically on the opposite side of the issue. We want less guns and more controls to feel that sense of safety, and know our children are safe in schools. We can acknowledge that the emotion is valid, while disagreeing with the solution, and propose one of our own. If you distill every issue to an emotion and ALWAYS speak to that side, backed up with facts. That is how you win. This election was not about facts, this was about emotional validation. Trump does this naturally because he feels an emotion like envy, spite, hate, anxiety, animosity, and it\'s immediately channeled out of his mouth. Even the stupid fluff stuff, "Like we love Wisconsin, oh yes we love you Wisconsin" drums up an emotion. Dial up the stress enough and give someone any shred of emotional validation and they\'ll walk into fire for you.

I gave up on that possibility when I noticed he was watching the live coverage on Jan6 with a joker grin and a weird, creepy laugh. \n\nI used a droplet approach for 1.5-2 years prior to giving up on J6. He refused to discuss politics so I made sure he was at least hearing some of the info that was being left out or lied about. I limited it to only major topics instead of it being a daily or weekly thing. We had two sentence discussions. I’d include as much of the key info in my sentence and his sentence was consistently, “Idw to talk about politics”. For some topics, I was able to remove details specific to politics to discuss the general topic. He’d share his thoughts and I’d eventually add the link to politics. Halfway into 2020, he started occasionally bringing up things he saw or heard to ask me if those were true. \n\nThe goal was not to change his views or opinions, it was to make sure he had more of the info in order to form his own views and opinions (& hopefully not fall for the lies). The only exception to that was conspiracy theories. I found out there was a conspiracy theory about Sandy Hook when he confidently and smuggly stated it as fact. That started the whole process because I tuned out politics and current events on purpose prior to that, but believing a school shooting was an elaborate hoax was too shocking and too disgusting to stick with not paying attention to politics and current events.

{'comment': 'Changing their minds sets the goal way too high. Their views and opinions are based on limited information &/or lies. Everyone is free to have their own views and opinions but people forfeit that freedom by allowing others to shape their opinions by leaving out info or lying. \n\nA lot of MAGA supporters use projection like it’s a super power. Their projection provides a cheat sheet of their insecurities. “Don’t be a sheep, think for yourself”, “do your own research”, any accusations about CNN/MSM telling you how to think, brainwashed-all of those are projections of insecurities they’re being deceived and manipulated. Pointing that out to the person is a waste of time. Challenging the person based on the insecurity is more effective. ie someone refusing to hear or read information that may contradict the opinion they were fed “I’d want the information they left out (or didn’t want you to have), I figured you would too so you can form your own opinion.” Don’t be rude or condescending, they’ll become defensive and there is no getting through to them at that point. \n\nIt’s not something to expect instant results from, the goal is to provide them with info they aren’t getting from the right. Even if they don’t want to receive it, they need to be aware that it exists. It can be helpful to state you’re not trying to change their views or opinions, you’re only trying to make sure they have all the facts to form their own opinions, if that is what you’re trying to do.', 'created': '2024-11-10 20:56:30', 'submission_id': '1gmlg06'}

{'comment': 'I think a large portion is religion and perceived economics.  The Republicans have really turned into a Christian Evangelical party.  A lot of working class people (especially in the south and mid-west) come from a Christian upbringing (speaking from a working class upbringing in an Roman Catholic household).  A lot of these homes work seriously hard just to scrape by and when they see "their money going to others" they get upset and are "that\'s MY money."  So a lot of social plans that Democrats put together take money from taxes and put it to social programs that benefit groups such as immigrants, homeless, etc (groups that a lot of these working class people are not a part of).  Then you add in businesses like Planned Parenthood which "promote the killing of babies" and "un-Christian principles" of contraptions for birth control.  All the while, the price of "essential goods" only get higher (double in some areas) during what they perceive to be "the President\'s economy" and well, that\'s that.  Those voters will say, "Trump will reduce the burden on corporations which will allow them to lower their prices, which means things will be cheaper.  Then when Trump shuts down all those stupid social programs, our taxes will come down since we are no longer funding them."\n\nA lot of these middle and working class families, don\'t benefit from a proper civics class either, so a lot have developed an idea that somehow the president has all this power (which was not true and hopefully will continue to not be true) that everything that happens is tied to the president.  They don\'t understand that local elections are actually usually more important than Federal (again until this election).\n\nSadly Democrats just haven\'t been able to find a consistent way to talk to the working and middle class since probably the 1980s.

{'comment': '\xa0\n\nThis comment turned out to be too long so I am posting it in 3 parts. \xa0\n\n\xa0\n\nPart one of\xa0 three\n\nNot working class. The VULGAR class.\n\nDon\'t downvote. let me explain.\n\nThe term vulgar literally originally meant " of and or relating to the common people" ( common people being called Vulgus in latin.) see also the term " plebeian".\n\nThis set up a dichotomy, one set up by the elite in Roman Times , in which the tastes of the common person was viewed as crass and wrong. Because of this, one\'s mannerisms and modes of behaving became class markers, and so they remained until extremely recent times ( and by recent I mean the change STARTED in the 1960\'s)\n\nThe key difference here, is that, before about 1960, it was commonly understood that the working, vulgar, class would aspire to imitate their " betters". Thus the media would for example, often broadcast opera and symphony orchestral music over the radio, not because this was popular but precisely because it was NOT popular. It was to show the vulgar masses what they should aspire to become etc. It was a paternalistic and elitist world view, and one that had existed for millennia. As you moved up in life, your tastes had to change. This was a truth universally understood.\n\nWhat changed? Mass Media, and World war 2. In the 1950\'s thanks to strong unions, the fact that the United States was the largest industrial area in the world that had not been turned into rubble during the war, and in the case of white people, massive housing subsidies leading to the american suburbs, much of the " vulgar" class was economically elevated into the middle class.\n\nAgain this happened over a period of maybe 15 years. So their tastes did not change because that would take a lot longer . All of a sudden you had a bunch of people with vulgar tastes but middle class purchasing power. \n\nThen in the 1970\'s the economy stagnated. No new members of the vulgar class were being elevated into the middle class, and they haven\'t really been at any point since then. Gradually, many of those who had been elevated into the middle class slipped back into poverty, a process that continues to this day.', 'created': '2024-11-09 01:31:41', 'submission_id': '1gmjk01'}

It's going to become the norm as long as we have leaders that couldn't get elected in a normal election but win only because they're not the incumbent. Hillary was seen as a 3rd Obama term. Trump was denied a 2nd term. Harris was seen as a 2nd Biden term.

Although the data is good, the actual experience for most people is that things are worse off now than before the Biden administration. Low unemployment and better inflation doesn't mean much when folks can't afford to buy a house or the groceries they need. By telling people that things are better even if that's not what they see in their day to day life, Democrats are proving themselves to be out of touch and insensitive to the needs of the public. Trump has told people a simple thing: life sucks, and I'm going to fix it. Many people feel that their lives are not going well right now so obviously they will side with the candidate who agrees with them. On another level, the Democratic Party leadership is guilty of political mistakes on a catastrophic level. Biden promised he would be a transition to a new generation then went back on his word. He prevented a competitive primary from occurring and invalidated the results of the state of New Hampshire in the process because it didn't fit his agenda. He dropped out of the race with three months to go, leaving Kamala no time to establish herself as a candidate. His administration did not prepare Kamala as a successor--she was almost invisible the past four years. He anointed Kamala without a single vote for her in a primary which is frankly undemocratic. Again, there is a theme of dictating to voters how things are going to happen instead of listening to them.

Pre 9/11 he was a laughingstock, lampooned on Simpsons to SNL, from Home Alone cameo to WWE, he was a public figure known to be the flashy casino boss that wasn't all that clever but enough to know his image mattered the most.  Especially with the influence of Roy Cohn, who was considered the most vile and 'dirty' lawyer that cut his teeth with McCarthyism and Reagan.\n\nSo consider today's working class is at least familiar with Trumps rebranded image in his Apprentice show where he was way more fine-tuned to how he presented himself throughout the scripted reality tv era of the early 2000's.  His celebrity status was established with his format of scripted business entertainment like an early Shark Tank which clearly had an audience.  His ambitions were all over the place, from Trump University to his hotels, a shitty steak company, and bankrupting his Atlantic City Taj Mahal.  Throughout the decades he went from one scandal to another and relished in any amount of attention.  \n\nIf you're unaware of any of this, consider yourself normal and fortunate to not have wasted any headspace thinking about him.  But that's what he exploited, the lesser educated yet ambitious, and his influence clearly grew to a degree he felt ambitious enough to run for President.

{'comment': "The education system has been destroyed so as a result many voters are more easily mislead and simply don't understand how things work. The Republicans have done a good job at propaganda and not fighting fair and getting away with it while the Democrats have tried to play within the established rules and stay civilized for much longer and are paying for it. Basically it pays to be a crook. \n\nI think a big part of it is the removal of the fairness doctrine by the FCC in 1987. It used to be the media had to present both sides of an issue. If people were watching a news program that news program couldn't present just one side of the issue. They had to present both sides. That's why people like Rush Limbaugh and Fox News became so prominent in the 90s and beyond. They effectively became propaganda. \n\nIt just continued with the rise of the Internet, social media and the decline of the major media outlets are what have led to this. It used to be people were more united by reading the same newspapers, magazines, watching the same news channels, TV shows, movies, reading the same books, etc. But, now there are so many options out there online and especially with social media that people are so disunified. We are not reading, listening or watching the same things anymore. We're all off in our own corners getting brainwashed. I don't know the answer because it's not like we can go back in time. They probably need to bring back something like the fairness doctrine and regulate the media and Internet again. But, I don't see that happening anytime soon.\n\nMany Americans don't seem to care that a convicted felon and who incited an insurrection will now become president. We used to mock other countries, calling them banana republics, third world countries, corrupt, etc when they did the exact same stuff that we are now doing.

{'comment': 'The question is why are voters not engaged, and why is the misinformation actually getting through to those people. \n\nI think I know why.\n\nPlease hear my perspective with an open mind. As a white man with a shit ton of hobbies the far right circle for their pipeline - stocks, investments, crypto, ai, gaming, physical Fitness, entrepreneurship and innovation, I feel like I understand how they operate and how they have such a hold on people, better than most here within the leftist bubble. \n\nIt’s really quite simple, the Republican messaging is more potent, and people fall victim to misinformation easier because \n1) the republicans dominate social media across a wide range of hobbies. For those of us into politics, we see how democrats dominate the political bubble, but if you play games, or think the new Star Wars movies are crap, or want to use ai, you will come across numerous right wing channels that are the mouth of the pipeline. They push you little by little, and then once you are susceptible to ideas, the algorithm takes hold. \n\nHowever, why are people susceptible to ideas from the right?\n\n2) because the leftist position on every single social issue is NOT the common sense position. \n\nIt’s NOT common sense that using ai is evil but using photoshop is not. \n\nIt’s NOT common sense that capitalism is pure evil (it’s how we build a functional world). \n\nit’s NOT common sense to say that we should allow illegal immigrants to exist in this country (yea yea they help our economy—- sorry my fellow brainrots, that’s the intellectual position, the common sense position is in the name ILLEGAL immigrants), \n\nit’s NOT common sense to say that trans women should be allowed in women’s sports (sorry but there are biological differences between sexes that result in physical differences regardless of how early you start hormones). \n\nIt’s NOT the common sense position to say that a conflict in the Middle East that has been going on for hundreds of years with harm in both sides is just because of the “white Zionist Americans”. \n\nIt’ NOT the common sense position that we can say Black Lives Matter but not ALL lives matter. (I get the intellectual reasons, but it’s not common sense). \n\nIt’s NOT common sense to say that all men are evil. It’s not common sense to say “women should be allowed to go toppless” (because it ignores the fundamental reality of sexual arousal mechanisms in men). \n\nIt’s NOT common sense to use “they” as a non-binary person..(for fucks sake it confuses me every time, like who’s the group we are referring to 🤣). \n\nIt’s NOT common sense that minorities are owed reparations, or that established countries should bay hundreds of billions to Haiti or other places as “payback”.  \n\nIt’s NOT common sense that if your not Asian you can’t sell boba (the common sense take is their business was shit and they didn’t understand their own market, but of course simu brought race into the discussion). \n\nFuck it’s NOT even common sense that we need to completely shift to green energy right now (I’m a huge environmentalist by the way, and even I can admit it’s not clear for people)\n\nI could go on and on and on, because I have seen every one of these issues push normal people a bit further right little by little, for YEARS. \n\n\nAgain, while some of the above may piss people off, and may get the woke mob to attack me (that’s kind of the problem lol), it’s clear that this is what America feels. And if we, all of us people who believe in social issues and progress want to make the world a better place, we must meet people where they are. \n\nSo what are we going to do?  Am\nI going to get downvoted to the end of the earth for trying to acknowledge reality?  \n\nWe’ve already seen people latch onto every reason but the core issue. They’ve identified wounds, and rightly so, wounds that must be bandaged, but they havnt identified the disease. \n\nI don’t see the far left changing things. It’s a cult as much as maga. But rather than have a cult leader at their helm, the lefts cult leader is a chip on their shoulder and hatred for the out group, for the establishment. \n\nI’ve said this before, in fact, I’ve said it all through the election cycle. Fuck the far left. They are disconnected from reality. \n\nDon’t believe me?  Look at the gen z numbers. The progressive movement as we know it are dead. We must acknowledge that if we still hope to make the world a better place. And if you agree with me, please take this to heart, because as we’ve just seen in this election \n\n-the left and gen z and minorities will NOT get off their ass to help themselves, so it’s up to people like us, who might be more willing to play the game, to try and achieve real progress. \n\nWe need a social media and media ecosystem like the right, and we can’t do that if we don’t meet Americans where we are. We MUST, for example, put ourselves down slightly to connect with people on a real level.  \n\nI’ll close with a great example. If I watch the new season of doctor who (or Star Wars or anything), and I think that making the doctor trans or bisexual or non binary or whatever the fuck takes AWAY from doctor who, pulls you out of the universe, and is cringe, I’m going to go onto social media and type “the new season of doctor who sucks”.   Every piece of content agreeing with that sentiment will be from the mouths of the far right pipeline. Filled with Conservative leaning influencers who are capitalizing on the anti common sense take, to get views. But then the algorithms take over, and eventually I’m recommended a video (how wokism killed doctor who). And if I’m not strong of mind, I’m sucked in. If I have less exposure to leftist issues or people then I think  “wow the left are crazy they must all be crazy.” \n\nThere is NOT A SINGLE piece of content about doctor who praising it, without ALSO saying how it’s such a big deal and such “progress”, how representative and diverse. THATS NOT THE POINT OF THE SHOW. The show sucks, the writing sucks, everything got worse, and everyone is saying how it’s a huge social success, and that makes people on the right, and people in the middle think the left are the wierd ones… \n\nAnd this happens with every single issue under the sun (some of which I mentioned earlier). \n\nIt’s time for the moderate dems to play ball, because it’s fucking clear the leftists won’t even lift a finger to vote, let alone self reflect.  It’s time for moderate people like myself who feel the same way to stop hiding their views because of fear of retaliation from the far left. All this view hiding in service of progress has left a void, and the conservatives are absolutelt filling that void. \n\nWe want change? The wounds are the minority vote and the inflation bullshit and the misinformation,the disease is the extreme leftism that leaves a void. \n\nThanks for listening to my ted talk. \n\n;Edited for typos somewhat lol', 'created': '2024-11-08 19:04:23', 'submission_id': '1gmjk01'}

{'comment': '\xa0Part\xa0 2 \xa0of 3 \xa0\xa0HOWEVER,\n\nWhat DID happen is that the number of people with Vulgar tastes has dropped. See the children of these people went to college, and their children went to college at a higher level still etc. So while economic mobility has gone nowhere in this country over the last 50 years, the number of people obtaining higher education has gone up.\n\nWhat does this do? well in many cases it strips you of your vulgar tastes.\n\nMoreover the economic stagnation of the last 50 years meant that many of these highly educated people did not see any increases in their standard of living. However the non educated saw their standard of living , and in many cases their lifespans, plummet.\n\nSo we are now in a point in  time where the struggle, as seen by the median american is NOT between the rich and the poor, but between the VULGAR AND THE NON VULGAR.\n\nThe vulgar resent the non vulgar, and they view being not vulgar as the mark of the elite. Essentially the elitist view that the tastes of the masses were to be exterminated has been turned on its head. Now it is the tastes of the educated that are viewed as the enemy of the " real american," so anything that smacks of non vulgarity ( for example, not being racist) is coded as elite behavior.\n\nTHIS IS WHY DONALD TRUMP DOES NOT CODE AS ELITE to these people. Because he is an extravagantly VULGAR human. And THAT is the marker that matters in America today. When you hear him described as a " working class billionaire" this is what is meant. He signals he has vulgar tastes, not elite tastes. Thus he represents the " common man" in the classic literal sense, in a world where common and elite are based not on wealth but on behavior and taste. An adjunct college professor stitching together jobs at three college campuses to make 50k a year is working class economically, but she is INFINITELY MORE ELITE than Donald Trump, and Conversely, Donald Trump is INFINITELY MORE WORKING CLASS than her, using the definitions of those terms that actually exist within the mind of the median american voter.\n\nThat is it, That is the root of it.

{'comment': '\xa0\n\nPart 3 of 3\n\nYou and I and labor activists and so on view "class" as a matter of economics. And of course there is a correlation. But the median member of the working class views "class", at a subconscious level, as a matter of taste and behavior, of " virtue signaling" if you will. So when they imagine the rich people who exploit them, they invariably imagine them as possessing elite tastes, and to be fair, most of those rich people do indeed have elite tastes ! But what this MEANS is that when they see a rich person displaying VULGAR tastes,( i. E Donald Trump) that person BECOMES ABSOLVED from belonging in the oppressive capitalist class. They see someone like Trump and they say " oh he is not like the other rich people. He is not using the money that was extracted from my labor to  put his name on art museum buildings. He  behaves like  I behave."The evidence that Donald Trump does not oppress them is HE BROADCASTS THAT HE SHARES THE SAME TASTES AS THEM.\n\nAlso remember that in our country, EVERYONE WANTS TO BECOME A BILLIONAIRE. That is in fact, the ultimate dream for the overwhelming majority of Americans. Thus they do not see GREAT WEALTH AS INHERENTLY BAD. Don\'t get me wrong, they all agree that they are being exploited by rich people, but it cannot be that the exploitation is inexorably linked to THE PROCESS BY WHICH THEY BECAME RICH because all these people also want to become rich, and very few of them, in this fantasy, see themselves as having to oppress people to get there. Therefore, they conclude, there must be something else that is LINKED to being Rich, but IS NOT " BEING RICH" ITSELF that causes the rich people that exploit them to, well, exploit them.\n\nThe genius move here the GOP has made is to make " non vulgarity" into the marker of the exploiting capitalist class. If a rich person is VULGAR in their behavior and affect, then they are immeadiately ABSOLVED from membership in the exploiting capitalist class. Whereas an economically middle or even working class person who has educated affectations and beliefs ( for example anti-racism) becomes suspect as perhaps being an agent of the exploiter.\n\nHow do we solve this? Only way I can think of is to make non vulgarity near universal, which would mean sending the overwhelming majority of americans through university at no cost to them. Something that is clearly politically impossible in the foreseeable future.\n\n\xa0\n\nOr, and this is probably the key, finding a way to\xa0 “vulgarly” express \xa0concepts such as\xa0 “ don’t be racist” and “ women are not destined to be your property” that right wing propaganda has successfully \xa0coded as beliefs held only by the capitalists that exploit you.', 'created': '2024-11-09 01:32:25', 'submission_id': '1gmjk01'}

There's what he wants to do, what he's capable of doing, and what resistance there may be.  He's got an uphill struggle, not least in the face of his own incompetence and decline.

{'comment': "Project 2025, Trump's tariffs, deporting millions from the labor force, and all the other idiotic policies are going to slap the low-information voters that allowed us to get here in the face and get them to finally pay attention.\n\nThis election was won on too many voters thinking the economy is bad but was better under Trump and that grocery prices are too high. It was won by too many people thinking Project 2025 was fear mongering and not a real threat. They are not going to take the resulting price hikes of suddenly cutting out everything that makes our prices as cheap as they are lightly.\n\nNor are they going to respond well to Project 2025 mandates restricting their freedoms. We have to realize this was a very close election when we look at the projected vote totals (votes are still being counted), it only seems much worse because of the EC making specific states more important than others. We may be looking at a 1-2 million difference. This is still a contested country with millions of voters that barely pay attention to politics until election time comes, and who vote party line because they always have. This stuff is scary, but we also need to be realistic. Trump voters are not all the crazed MAGA people we see at rallies. Some of them just vote for the not-Democrat. Many of them just voted based on groceries being more expensive than during Trump. These people are still reachable.\n\nWe need to look at the polls and focus groups and keep a clear head with this. American voters have been woefully uninformed for every election until now, that is nothing new. Those undecideds and those that thought Project 2025 was just fear mongering are going to get a cold, hard smack of reality real soon.\n\nContraception, pornography, department of education, NOAA, and shit ton of other things they didn't realize were on the ballot being banned or disappearing because of the government? That's not going to go over well. It shouldn't have come this far, but Americans historically are not nearly as politically engaged as any of us spending our time talking about politics on reddit are. Conservative Evangelicals who would support this stuff are very loud but they are not the majority. We're going to see the clash of those who pound their chest about American freedom and those who want to enforce a specific life style.\n\nIt seems like they overlap a lot, and as a rural midwesterner there is a lot of overlap, but they are also going to be at odds like never before. I'm positive my neighbor voted for Trump. I also know he and his wife like their porn (don't ask). I HIGHLY doubt they knew what they just voted for.\n\nWe also have tons of polling data on specific issues. Project 2025 mandates are wildly unpopular among voters regardless of party. Issues like abortion access are favored by the majority nationally. Multiple Trump-won states voted in favor of abortion access in this election. They're not going to take it well if Trump's administration overrules their state's rights to enforce a total ban.\n\nMaybe I'm just coping hard, but everything I have heard and seen makes me firmly believe Americans did not realize what was on the table and MAGA Republicans think they have won an ideological battle in this country that many of their voters are not going to take well. We cannot underestimate the power of our two party system and voters that are checked out until election season where they vote party line because they always have. \n\nAll this is to say, yes they are going to make it much more difficult. But the policies they think they have support for now, when in reality it is just support for the Trump brand, are going to piss a shit load of people off by taking away freedoms they took for granted and low prices by means of cheap labor and imports that they took for granted. Maybe I'm being overly optimistic here, but I think the resulting backlash from what this government is planning to do is going to be far too strong to suppress.\n\nTo think of it in much more imaginative terms... Republicans only care about things when it affects them. This is about to affect all of them regardless of if they are MAGA church goers or not.\n\nIt's going to be rough, it's going to suck. But we need to keep our heads up because we have the opportunity to turn this around once this stuff is put into action and non-MAGA Trump supporters are forced to look at the results of their vote in the face.", 'created': '2024-11-09 00:34:21', 'submission_id': '1gmc16g'}

{'comment': 'No worries, and great questions. Whenever I travel I look at the place and ask myself if this is somewhere I could see myself living because I think that we as Americans are overworked, too focused on material things and in a vicious cycling of wanting more which then leads back to overworking rather than enjoying the beauties of life. Many people from Europe that I’ve met have a lifestyle I’m more aligned with where they have ample time off to travel the world and have quality time raising their kids in formative years. I understand that this isn’t the case for everyone in Europe and these people are coming from a place of privilege to have the disposable income to do these things. There are good/bad trade offs to making the move, but here are a few of the good ones in my opinion:\n\nPortugal is a beautiful country, has some of the nicest people in Europe (in my experience), English was spoken widely in Lisbon, nice weather, great education system, relatively affordable cost of living,  and a more relaxed life from what I was able to gather. \n\nPortuguese isn’t that hard to learn, but I’d see it as a fun challenge if we did actually move there. That being said, I can work remotely so it wouldn’t be something that would be critical to my day to day life outside of interacting with govt agencies/services (or I could just use a translation service to get up and running). \n\nI’m not at the point of seriously considering leaving yet since I am generally on the side of doing everything I can administratively within local government to create change and whatever is possible on the federal level to try and make a difference. I haven’t done research yet on what the immigration process would look like, but my spouse and I both work in fields that are in high demand so a work visa wouldn’t be a problem.', 'created': '2024-11-09 16:09:46', 'submission_id': '1gmao32'}

{'comment': 'Okay gotcha. If you can get a remote job, several countries have nomad visas. Thats usually the best option if you want to move to a country with a low cost of living so you’re ultimately still living on an American salary in a place where everything costs a fraction of what it does here. However, remote jobs that allow you to live out of country can be competitive. For places like Mexico, Panama - a lot of people will do a visa run where they travel across a border every 3 months or so to renew their visa.\n\nAchieving citizenship is more complicated. If you have grandparents that immigrated from one of the European countries - several of them have birthright citizenship options.\n\nFor me, personally, my husband works overseas half the year. So he will continue to make American money and me and the kids can live somewhere like Mexico and make visa runs - at least for the time being. Before Kamala was the candidate I was freaking out and ready to flee and my husband was looking at jobs in Columbia or Japan - but before we made the call Biden dropped out and I felt we at least had a shot. I’m still processing my shock while I weigh our options.\n\nIf I were in your position I’d probably look somewhere like TikTok or the expat subreddits where there is a wealth of information about the easiest countries to immigrate to, cost of living, quality of life etc to see what would be the best fit for you.', 'created': '2024-11-09 18:09:09', 'submission_id': '1gmao32'}

Voters said their number one issue was the economy, and yet I feel like that wasn\'t a strong focus of the Harris campaign, or at least not of the media that could have helped share the message.  The thing about social media is that it is designed to highlight what people want to hear and see.  We should treat that as our polls - what gets the most attention on social media that is unfavorable to Democrats?  What are people most afraid of?  What are they most angry about?  What are Democrats\' biggest vulnerabilities?\n\nThen, we work on unifying the left behind a platform to address voters\' concerns.  Until we can somehow find unity between the center left and the far left, we\'re always going to be on the back foot.  Dems can\'t win in rural districts as moderate blue collar champions if the voters think Democrat = communist, but we also have the problem that if Democrats don\'t meet the far left\'s purity tests, they\'re eviscerated.  The far right is falling victim to it - look at how little Mike Johnson was able to do because a small group of attention-craving far right legislators keeps derailing his plans.

{'comment': 'Coming from someone from Spain and take on account I dont really know how the Biden administration performed but only on a surface level so feel free to point wathever mistake I made, I believe the Democrats made the same mistake our goverment is doing right now which is not having the bravery to tackle the problems the middle/lower class face from a popular point of view, like soaring inflation, economical inequality, homelesness, eroded public healthcare and education, opioid crisis and other stuff that affects that strata much more than the rest, sure the economy is doing good and growing but is the middle and poor classes being participant of that economic boost or were they set aside so high classes and elites could fill their pockets even more?.\n\nI believe Biden should have raised taxes to the very rich a lot more than he did, F.D.Roosevelt in 1936 levels of high, use that money to fund public education and healthcare, he should have done more to alleviate the student debt, tackle the problem with disinformation, stop people like Musk poisoning everything etc etc but either he didnt want to fix those problems or he wasnt allowed or he wasnt brave enough, the world is in a state where politicians NEED to take action instead of waiting to see if the problem fixes itself naturally, we are pass the time of empty promises, people need actions not words.\n\nIMO the Democrat party has made a mistake forgetting the working class struggle or not caring for it, sure the progressivenes agenda is fine but it cant be the only left leaning agenda they sport, people living paycheck to paycheck seeing their foodbasket grow smaller dont really care about any of that, that doesnt mean they are racist or homophobic, but you cant expect someone living on the edge to make that a priority. Go watch The Wire S1, S2 and S4, do you think the folks at street level, imporvished dockworkers and kids at underfunded schools care about that? No they dont and I dont blame them, the system is broken and the working masses are slipping through the cracks in bulk, the Democrat party has to put a net to stop them from crashing into the ground because even as a foreigner I know the GOP wont, they need to listen to people like Sanders/AOC a bit more and listen less to establishment and hollywood democrats.\n\nNow I dont expect Trump to fix any problem at all, hell I expect him to make everything so much worse for everyone except the 1% but Trump does give a way to vent their anger, like the good fascist he is he pointed at an enemy with his little fingers to redirect the frustration of the popular classes and his followers, being the uneducated cattle they are, swallowed his bullshit and asked for seconds.', 'created': '2024-11-08 11:46:35', 'submission_id': '1gm9ysi'}

However, every single vote is needed, and it is notably and consistently harder to get voters to vote for Democrats nationally. \n\nDemocrats' voters resent compromise. On some degree, I can understand that -- compromising with adversarial groups is pointless and fruitless and has led to a lot of strife. But sometimes, compromises need to be made with uncomfortable positions or potential allies, and this is simply unpalatable to some subset of voters.\n\nTo echo AoC, we need to be willing to build coalitions. Sometimes that means voters (people) have to make and commit to decisions they may not be happy with because it is needed to make positive change. But I worry that our electorate is simply incapable of this.

GenX apathy. Trump finally got their attention, and Lincoln Project built the bridge, paved the road, and subtly challenged their pre-existing beliefs one tasty nibble at a time.\n\nI\'d love to see the term "Lincoln Democrat" become a norm. Lifelong Republican identity is strong (like, "college football team" strong), and "conservative" has way too much negative baggage (for Democrats, because it mostly invokes memories of shamelessly-racist southerners... for ex-Republicans, because Evangelicals have poisoned the word to the point where moderate *Republicans* don\'t even really like it anymore). People like Liz Cheney threw the "Conservative" word around during the campaign, but I don\'t think even *she* likes it much.\n\nIn contrast, Abe Lincoln is America\'s Jose Marti (adored by Miami and Castro Cubans alike) and Sun Yat-Sen (venerated by Taiwan, respected by mainland China). He\'s someone *everyone* can find something to like about... and a strong argument could be made that if he were alive today, he\'d probably be a Democrat, too.\n\nFuture Lincoln Democrats might never be enthusiastically "progressive", but they\'re way more mellow than they\'re made out to be. They might have started out quoting Mises with the enthusiasm & zeal their left-wing peers had for Marx... then graduated into the biggest "jobless recovery" in American history, spent a year or so unemployed after the dotcom boom, and endured the Great Recession (and subsequent Enshittification of Everything). They\'re now old enough to have preexisting conditions. \n\nRoll out the big blue tent\'s purple carpet & welcome them, because once they cross the Lincoln Bridge, "They\'re Not Going Back".

Established in 1916, Brookings is one of the oldest and most respected think tanks in the U.S., publishing extensive research that informs policymakers and the public.\n\t3.\tEconomic Policy Institute (EPI): Established in 1986, EPI is known for its focus on economic policy, particularly labor rights, wages, and inequality.

Judged primarily for concept & copywriting... shown mid-afternoon Sunday, awards at closing event.\n   * Videos produced prior to the weekend. Concept, copywriting, and execution are all important. Must be properly licensed in advance for streaming on Youtube, which probably means they can\'t use copyrighted music or assets.\n   * Videos that were first shown at the previous event... in both their original form and final form. Judged for concept, copywriting, and execution. Same copyright clearance rules as category 2. This batch should probably be done early in the event, to inspire attendees and set expectations.\n\nBesides keeping up the flow of anti-Trump videos during the dry season before the 2026 elections, it expands Lincoln Project\'s own talent pool for making future videos.\n\nWhy Orlando (ok, maybe Kissimmee)?\n\n* Proximity to DisneyPixar\n* If you\'re having an event that\'s going to totally consume most of the weekend, there\'s no point having it in a $500+/night hotel in downtown Miami. We\'re talking about people paying for their own rooms, not highly sought-after consultants charging it to an expense account. I\'d say, $250/night max, with something like a $99/night Hampton Inn or Holiday Inn Express across the street or next door. ;-)\n* Sane drive for Rick Wilson (whom I think lives somewhere around Tallahassee)... and presumably, a lot of the *other* people he works with.\n\nIf it\'s a big hit, maybe they could do an additional one sometime around June 2024 in California or Las Vegas.', 'created': '2024-11-08 23:51:33', 'submission_id': '1gm9ysi'}

The Dem+Rep vote was 6,838,186 in 2020 and 6,821,128 in 2024, so down 17k, and that could even end up being close to the same turnout after overseas and provisional ballots are finished counting. People definitely stayed home in a lot of the country, but at least in PA they were just as motivated to turn out since they know they're a swing state and it looks like they took it seriously. We can't say that people didn't care in PA. And the narrative that people stayed home doesn't really fit with other swing states either. Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, and North Carolina all actually had more turnout than 2020. Arizona and Nevada are both being counted so I can't check them. National turnout was down, but the people who's vote mattered the most did their job and they turned out.\n\n|State        |2020 Dem |2024 Dem |2020 Rep |2024 Rep |2020 Total|2024 Total|Diff   |\n|--------------|---------|---------|---------|---------|----------|----------|-------|\n|Pennsylvania  |3,459,923|3,347,132|3,378,263|3,485,374|6,838,186 |6,832,506 |-5,680 |\n|Michigan      |2,804,040|2,728,417|2,649,852|2,807,720|5,453,892 |5,536,137 |82,245 |\n|Wisconson     |1,630,866|1,668,757|1,610,184|1,697,237|3,241,050 |3,365,994 |124,944|\n|Georgia       |2,473,633|2,543,455|2,461,854|2,660,995|4,935,487 |5,204,450 |268,963|\n|North Carolina|2,684,292|2,687,549|2,758,775|2,877,625|5,443,067 |5,565,174 |122,107|\n\nSecond, demographics swung, but not the way you might think. With the white vote, the vote was 81% white in 2020 and 82% in 2024, not a significant difference and since turnout was about the same the absolute number is about the same too. 5,538,931 in 2020 and 5,593,325. It actually increased by 54k. Also, Trump actually *lost* a lot of white voters. Trump had 57% of white PA voters in 2020 and 55% in 2024 while Harris actually *gained* white voted by a tiny bit, 43% vs 42%. In absolute numbers, Harris gained 78k while Trump lost 80k. We actually swung lots of white voters, and really, it seems like it's the only demographic that might have flipped sides vs just different people staying home/turning out.\n\nNow here's where the numbers get very enlightening. How could Harris lose when white voters shifted towards her by 160k??? Well Black people turned out way less. It was 11% in 2020 and 9% in 2024, so there were a lot fewer black people turning out in general, and of the black people that did turn out, it went from 92% in 2020 to 89% in 2024 for Harris and 7% Trump in 2020 to 10% in 2024. In absolute numbers that ends up being 145k fewer votes for the Dems and 8k more votes for Trump. Ok so a few thousand extra voters showed up for Trump, but Dems lost them by 6 digits. This isn't a case of Trump getting a ton of Black voters to his side, it's a case of them not showing up for Democrats, and more specifically it was Black men. Black men went from 5% turnout in 2020 to 3% turnout in 2024 while Black women stayed steady at 6% and didn't budge in their support.\n\nNext enlightening numbers. The Hispanic vote. The Latino vote turned out a little bit more than in 2020. 5% in 2020, 6% in 2024. In absolute numbers, 67k more Latinos turned out in 2024. But their demographic swung HARD towards Trump. 69% Dem in 2020 vs 57% in 2024, and 27% Trump in 2020 vs 42% Trump in 2024. In real numbers that ends up being about 2k fewer votes for Dems, a rounding error, but 80k more votes for Trump. He didn't really flip Latino voters either, he got a ton of new voters to turn out. Pretty much all the extra turnout from the Latino demographic went to Trump.\n\nSo big takeaways. We actually convinced white voters to vote for Harris. Black men did not turn out. A bunch of new Latino voters showed up for Trump. Now if we think about that a bit more, it actually makes sense doesn't it? When people think about the blue wall swing states do we think about the Latino vote? Especially the rural Latino vote? No, we stereotypically think majority white and some urban black voters. But it's not. The Latino vote matters. We ignored them, and Trump found them. The Latino vote matters, even in places we stereotypically assume are white, and if you don't reach out to them you lose them. We reached out to the white middle class a lot. I felt like they were the focus of the election for the swing vote strategy. Looks like it actually worked, but in the process we completely ignored significant minority populations.\n\nA lot of the Latino population is rural, and we ignored them, so who did get their message out to them in our vacuum? Right wing media. Fox news in every restaurant, Trump flags on every block, Democrats nowhere to be found. Republican strategists have been talking about getting the Latino vote for several election cycles and it looks like they finally did it.\n\nAs for the black vote, we lost black men hard. They weren't convinced by Trump, they just weren't convinced by Democrats. The economy was the big deciding issue in this election. Biden improved the economy vs 2020, but Black people are historically left out of those gains. Sure the economy got better in general, but did it get better for Black men? Did we speak to issues that affect black men specifically? Did we really include them in the conversation? Black women were, but maybe Black men, not so much... We told women in republican households that their voting choice is theirs not their husbands, but the same is true for black men. The choice is theirs and we didn't do enough to convince them that we were going to help them this time around instead of ignoring them.\n\nWe lost because we did the flashy easy thing. We focused on social issues which Trump is awful on, and we focused on the cities where we already have good support. We gave up on people in rural areas. We didn't address the needs of the most disenfranchised voters directly. We didn't reach out to populations that are historically ignored. We became a party of niche issues and ignored the voters we needed the most. We ignored people and this is what happens when we do that.\n\nThat's just Pennsylvania.

{'comment': 'This is an excellent post. It honestly makes sense to me and jives with the concerns I had since early in 2023 that the Dems responses to people’s complaints about the economy were going unheard. Fact is, while unemployment is low, even among Blacks and Latinos, jobs are getting harder to find, especially for younger men. In addition, with the COL going up, even if you have a job, it is harder to make ends meet. \n\nI kept telling people to not focus solely on voting percentages and that you needed to look at turnout. I was told to shut up, even on Reddit. However, if a Black voter doesn’t vote at all, while it it is not as bad as voting for Trump, it is still not good for Harris, as it still leave you a vote short. If you are losing new voters to Trump, now you have to find two votes! It is pure math. There is some total that equals 100 and you want your side to have the higher amount. \n\nNow as the numbers continue to roll in from the West (CA,AK, AZ, NV and WA), Harris’s vote total will rise m; in the end she will end up around 72.5 M votes and he will end up with around 74.5 to 75.5M. I point this out because that is about 50 to 48 vote percentage, or about what the polls were showing. So all the people hating on the pollsters who did not want to face reality need to take a long hard look at themselves.', 'created': '2024-11-08 13:26:50', 'submission_id': '1gm899o'}

Turnout not only matched 2020 turnout but beat it by a lot. The white vote did not budge one bit, but a lot more of them stayed home. That actually ended up being a net gain for Democrats because Reps win the white vote so fewer of them means a smaller vote difference.\n\nThe black vote turned out the same but swung a little towards Trump. The numbers here are less dramatic so I'm cautious due to the margin of error.\n\nLatino vote turned out way more and follows a similar trend to PA.

Turnout again is high, even higher than 2020. White vote was again depressed like in Michigan and Latino vote was higher just like everywhere else, but how the demographics swung is very different. The biggest difference is that the white vote really swung towards Trump by A LOT. Another big difference is that a lot more Black voters swung towards Trump, and it's not just that they didn't turn out for Dems, more of them turned out for Trump too. Latinos didn't swing towards trump that dramatically here...\n\nSomething is different around wisconsin, but it may come down to the rural and urban divide. In both MI and PA the turnout from urban, suburban, and rural was about the same actually, but who was voting changed. What's different about WI is that the urban/rural numbers changed by a large amount. In 2020 it was 30% Urban, 49% Suburban, 22% Rural. In 2024 it was 35% Urban, 34% Suburban, 31% Rural. Basically the suburbs didn't turn out, and the cities did a bit more, but rural voters really turned out. I'm not sure why WI is different, but one thing we do know is that Republicans flipped on mail in voting this election and started encouraging more of their voters to mail in their ballot. That could have benefited them more in urban areas. Why that same trend isn't in MI or PA I'm not sure.", 'created': '2024-11-09 01:12:08', 'submission_id': '1gm899o'}

Maybe if she had run in the primaries and been campaigning for longer, it would have made a difference, I don't know, but being railroaded into voting for her, I think, is one reason 5 million dems didn't vote, and why even more may have voted 3rd party.

The unavoidable reality is that America hates women and POC, and having a black/Indian woman run, especially without a primary, was an awful call from a strategic standpoint.

I wouldn\'t say America hates women, I\'d say that the role of POTUS is one that is also synonymous with strength. Every human, man and woman, on this planet judges men on their Strength, the same can\'t be said of women. If a woman is soft spoken, timid, or isn\'t confident, we don\'t judge her less for it. The same can\'t be said of men. I think a woman could definitely become POTUS, but she needs to exude the kind of strength that is universal to everyone.

{'comment': 'I’m a middle aged white dude. I went to the grocery store last night and an older black woman was finishing loading her groceries. The store employee (20s white male) was in the parking lot collecting carts. She asked “you want this one too?” He flatly replied, “no.” The look on her face was one of heartbreak and exasperation. I said, “I’ll take that from you honey.” She smiled, gave it to me, and got in her car. A Karen was watching this as she was leaving the store and glowered at me as I passed her. I flatly told her to wipe the look of her face. She also had a look of exasperation after that, but for obviously different reasons. She said something but I didn’t have the energy to argue with someone of lesser intelligence at the time. \n\nFuck if this is what we’re in for the next four years.

{'comment': ">There is no single explanation for Donald Trump’s unambiguous win\n\nYes, there is. The Republicans weaponized rhetoric using the fascist playbook, and began doing so years ago. Only people didn't realize (and many still don't) that rhetoric can be one of the most powerful weapons of humanity.\n\nAnd so finally calling out Trump and his minions as fascists in this election was just too, little far too late. The cancer was already widespread. It was too late to build resistance among voters to fascism.\n\nTrump won because of what I would call the paradox of free speech (a corollary to the paradox of tolerance).\n\nFree speech is incredibly important to a democracy so that voters have the opportunity to be informed. \n\nBut when a major political party uses speech with ill intent, it can bring down a democracy.\n\nI'm sure our founding fathers never dreamed that a political party would use propaganda and lies to elect a tyrant. So there are no protections in our Constitution from this, and we really have not added any to our system of laws in the 240 years since then.", 'created': '2024-11-08 16:02:55', 'submission_id': '1gm6c7h'}

While I respect and might even agree with most of Bernie’s policies—he’s seen as too radical and at the time and maybe even now (although I question what I’m about to say next because they elected Trump for a second time), the country is generally center-left. People don’t want extremism from either side. Bernie would’ve lost against Trump in 2016 and likely 2020. Americans don’t care about slogans like, “defund the police.” And let’s be honest, he’s slightly older than Biden so the old age issue likely would’ve applied to him as well in 2020.\n\nI was one of those people that voted for Hillary over Bernie in the 2016 primaries and I voted for Biden over Bernie in the 2020 primaries.', 'created': '2024-11-09 12:02:48', 'submission_id': '1gm52v7'}

It provides an opportunity for the minority to rule. \n\nHonestly, I didn’t really deep dive into politics until Trump got elected. His election was so far away from what I’d always believed was a given, and I wanted so badly to know how and why it happened. \n\nKnowledge is power. \n\nI’m not saying, “drop everything and dig in.” That not practical for so many people. But avoiding mainstream media is a good start. There are apps available that analyze and rate news articles based on their factuality and political bias. I use Ground News, though I’m sure there are others. \n\nI could go on forever, but basically, start paying closer attention to your local government.

We need to be ready for the resulting backlash.\n\nLow information voters supported Trump because of grocery prices and the economy. 2026 and 2028 after Trump's tariffs and deporting millions of undocumented laborers that will need to be replaced by higher paid citizens will be an easy win with these voters IF we can capitalize on it and stay ahead of it before they can blame it on another scapegoat marginalized group.\n\nAnd yes, angrier and louder, but about the specific issues that average American voters care about day to day. We need to shelve some of our social change policies for now until we have any actual legislative power and speak to the things average rural swing state voters care about or we will never have the power for them for decades after MAGA propaganda and education take hold. And for the issues we do focus on, we need to take it further and better differentiate. We need to push further left on workers' rights, healthcare, etc. \n\nWe need to actually push for change and progress that affects the every day lives of the people that voted for Trump and do so in concise and easy to grasp ways that don't require a dozen pages of reading to convey no matter how well researched and sourced it is.

Trump is constantly talking about how the dems are letting MS 13 and other violent gangs into the country and how they are terrorizing Long Island residents (which the second part of that is partially true). They play videos over and over of mobs of thieves running into high end stores and robbing them in California. They went nuts with the story about the Venezuelan gang that supposedly held up an entire apartment building in Colorado. \n\nIt doesn’t help that crime in NY and Cali has increased. We can’t ignore these facts. Although I’m not sure why. My mom went to NY last weekend and said all the stores had every single item locked behind glass. \n\nAs far as socialism, Cubans don’t like that Obama worked with Cuba’s government and got rid of the wet foot dry foot law, and opened up tourism to Cuba. The moment Obama repealed wet foot-dry foot, we lost the Cuban vote forever. And anything to them that even reminds them of socialism, they are phobic to. Trump shut down tourism to Cuba during his reign to show them that he won’t work with their government and Cubans ate it up. They hate when the US shows any willingness to work with Cuba’s regime.\n\nIronic being that Trump is Russia’s puppet and Russia and Cuba are communist bffs.\n\nVenezuela’s trauma is even more recent as they were a rich and prosperous democratic country not that long ago until socialism took over. Any whispers of socialism will make them run. All Trump and his people have to do is say the dems have a socialist agenda, and talk about us raising taxes and what not to convince them.

We’re finding out now that a ton of voters literally just filled in the bubble for Trump and left the rest of the ballot blank. These are voters that do not show up for anyone — on either side — besides him. \n\n2) The media ecosystem is now actively hostile to Democrats. The mainstream media sanewashed Trump, criticized Biden and Harris, and throttled any news that put the Democrats in a positive light. And the podcast universe is absolutely saturated with right-wing propaganda. Go to your Spotify or Apple Podcasts Top 10 and tell me how many of them are well-known right-wingers. Then tell me how many are liberal. Given that most people get their news from podcasts nowadays, that’s a huge problem.

{'comment': "No. \n\nI know people want to assign blame. \n\nBut the cancer simply spread too far. The Republicans used the fascist playbook to weaponize rhetoric. And weaponized rhetoric is one of the most powerful weapons of humanity.\n\nSo the lesson to take from here is that there is a paradox of free speech. \n\nFree speech is extremely important for democracy, so that voters have the opportunity to make informed decisions. \n\nYet, speech that is used to misinform voters with ill intent can bring down a democracy. \n\nTrump and his surrogates created a fiction about who he is, and what he would do. And they created a fiction about  Harris.\n\nIf it had been some other candidate, with other campaign strategies, they simply would have adjusted their fictional narrative.\n\nBut if you really want to blame someone, blame the media. For if instead of sane washing Trump for years, they had criticized him for his lies, and labeled him the fascist that he is, perhaps it would have made the difference. Perhaps some people would have been more resistant to the con. \n\nBecause that's what happened. Trump has been running a con on the United States. And *he got even better at it.*", 'created': '2024-11-07 21:30:22', 'submission_id': '1glzgxy'}

Trumps tax plan added 25% to the National Debt so he is going to *rob Peter to pay Paul* and transfer this money to the billionaires. Musk knew Harris was going to pass a heavy tax burden on billionaires. This is going to be a huge redistribution of funds. The targets of these cuts:\n\n- Social Security currently at $1.42 Trillion. If you collect it, get ready to have age out caps, no COL increases, and increased age when you collect (most likely 72).\n- Medicare is going to get a lot more expensive, or even cut. This is currently at $1.5 trillion\n- National Defense is at $1.6 trillion. They won’t touch this. To many people would lose their shit.\n- Banking deposit insurance will be cut. \n\nTake a look at your financial situation. Makes cuts, get rid of credit card debt. \n\nRealize something though…Trump and Musk both have egos. Don’t be shocked if this bromance comes to an end. Trump won on the economy.

He’s just not cut out for government.\n\nI think he’ll take an unofficial role (no paycheck), and when he becomes frustrated by government, he will drift away, and eventually we’ll ask, “Why haven’t we heard Musk talking about this stuff for a while?”\n\nThis is, of course, assuming the cuts he manages to make don’t immediately causes issues, resulting in Trump throwing him under the bus.\n\nRemember, folks; the one good thing about Donald Trump is that he destroys all the people close to him.

{'comment': "Check my other comments. Oh, hell........................\n\nHarris ended up 15 million votes short of Biden from 2020.\xa0Trump was down 3 million votes from what he got in 2020.  \n  \nWe knew months ago that Trump's billionaires were all in to get him elected. Elon Musk went public. Peter Thiel is the one with a history of infiltration and questionable actions plus access to computer skills.  \n  \nConsider the vote totals from 2020 and 2024. Harris and Biden critically.  \n  \nBiden beat Trump in the 2020 popular vote by 81,283,501 to 74,223,975.  \n  \nHarris in 2024 came in at 66,415,077 votes. Which is nearly 15 million fewer votes than what Biden got in 2020. And that 2020 election happened before the January 6th Insurrection. Before Project 2025 was published. Before acceleration of the main force hurricane cycle.  \nThe 2024 Democratic Party is also larger than it was in 2020.  \n  \nWhat we are seeing in 2024 is Trump at 71,352,277. He is down from 2020 by nearly 3 million votes. The Republican / Fox News NEGATIVE COALITION-BUILDING strategy held it together for him at this lower level of overall support.  \n  \nTo be clear: Trump did not get more votes this go-around.  \n  \nAnd even Hillary Clinton in 2016 got 65,853,514 votes.  \n  \nHarris shortfall compared to Biden = minus 18% = a near collapse of the Democratic Party  \n  \nReally ???  \n  \n15,000,000 votes fewer than Biden................... how does that make sense ?  \n  \nThe Democratic Party in 2024 is also larger than it was in 2020.  \n  \nAnd the abortion amendment votes came in ahead of Harris everywhere in the battleground states. So we know that those voters went to the polls. Check out Florida for one.Amendment voters = 6,061,672. Same election where Harris = 4,676,871.  \n  \nSo how was cutting the Harris vote totals done ?  \n  \nWell first off, it's not going to be the READER machines that process the paper ballots. These are very simple machines. They are easy to check.  \n  \nBut at the COLLATION computers all that goes out the window. These are the computers that process the final totals coming out of the READERs.  \n  \nCorrupting these COLLATION computers requires one infiltration per election software company. And the actual code for corruption fits into these computers' firmware. Election officials at the states are never going to see anything they can use.  \n  \nAt the same time it would appear that this plausible election corruption project had a real world concealment component.  \n  \nThe standard Wikipedia pages that publish Registered Voters By State by year have disappeared. And references to these Wikipedia pages have also been deleted systematically.  \n  \nQuite a process, that.  \n  \nWell beyond the expertise and manpower resources of the main Republican Party apparatus. And far as I can tell the RNC crew are also light on super-financed psychopaths. You have to ask: were Peter Thiel and his buds willing to sit back and let the dice roll for whether Donald Trump lost the election, had to endure the insurrection trial, and then got carted off to prison.  \n  \nAlso quite visibly, these collapses of Democratic Party presidential votes in 2024 relative to 2020 were observed uniformly across the battleground states.  \n  \nThis speaks to the pattern of infiltration with sabotage located to the COLLATION software. And particularly to that firmware. The infiltrator(s) would have had to go all-or-none with one code alteration migrated to all the target COLLATION machines.  \n  \nTrump at 71,352,277 votes in 2024 was a weak candidate.  \n  \nYet the Republican Party lives.

{'comment': 'I genuinely mean this, so please don’t take it sarcastically, but it’s a personal balance and you’re welcome to believe that.

The only thing that matters here is the **massive** margin swing.\n\nOnce you start looking at the swing, imo it shows us Kamala’s campaign was working (she lost 3% on Biden’s share in the battlegrounds vs 6.7 nationally, and even more in low-saturation markets like Texas and New York) but that she either didn’t have the time to get all the way there, or that she really never stood a chance because the country was simply shifting way further right than anyone realised and the headwinds against her were too strong.

Turnout only goes up by reaching the most inaccessible voters by very definition, if you haven’t already convinced 70% of available voters that Trump is a deranged lunatic it’s already not a powerful enough message to break through to the lowest propensity voters in my view. \n\nJust to clarify though, I think Trump winning by razor thin margins in the swing states compared to how he shifted the nation is a good sign. Kamala has seeded some serious doubt about Trump there in order to have closed the gap where she did, so whoever runs next will have an easier time than they’d have otherwise had. The margin also suggests the shift is more transitory everywhere else, to me, since in 100 days a lot more people were casting a vibes based vote than we’d like to think, even in Texas, NY and Florida. The fact the swing states (who were pummelled with election material) came even this close suggests when Americans were forced to think about it the results are a lot closer.\n\nCause god, a 6.7 national swing **hurts** deep down, if you can’t look at that as a silver lining.', 'created': '2024-11-08 00:41:48', 'submission_id': '1glxawa'}

I have watched so many of them die lonely, afraid, and scared of what would happen to their partner once they were gone. \n\nIt is just so odd that you have that many gay men rallying against other gay men and proactively working to harm them.  \n\nAnyway, I dont think the morality part of 2025 is going to go anywhere.

The second largest industry is the video game industry, and Rockstar, alone, could tie the government up for the next decade in court cases.\n\nSo, I am not overly worried about this part of it.

{'comment': '>Okay, thinking that white men are being "demonized" is part of the problem here.\n\n>If women are complaining about rape and domestic violence, and you take that personally, it might be because you see no problem with committing those crimes. It\'s DEFINITELY because you don\'t want to take any sort of responsibility for preventing those things, though, and that\'s kinda bad enough.\n\n  \nThis... is the underlying issue. \n\nAssumptions. \n\nNow, I\'m not saying that rape and domestic violence are not issues worth talking about. They are. But the way they’re talked about sometimes feels like it’s pointing fingers at all men. When you lump every guy who feels uncomfortable or defensive into a box labeled ‘probably guilty’ or ‘doesn’t care about helping,’ you’re oversimplifying a complicated issue.\n\nJust because some men get defensive doesn’t mean they’re against fixing these problems. A lot of them just feel unfairly categorized. We can tackle big issues like gender violence without putting a label on an entire group, and we should be able to have conversations that recognize that everyone’s got their own experiences and reactions. When you generalize like that, it just makes people shut down and back away from the conversation instead of joining in to help solve things. Now to be fair: there are also a lot of men who get defensive BECAUSE they are guilty of it. \n\nAnd this isn’t just about white men, either. I’m not white, and I can see the way men in general are sometimes painted in a negative light. Sure, white men often take the brunt of it, but this affects guys from all backgrounds. Just look at Twitter on November 19 (International Men’s Day), or trends like the one where women said they’d pick a bear over a man. I know that’s just social media fun, but it still hints at a real divide between men and women. I get that women have their reasons, and I respect that, but we can’t ignore the ways that some of this stuff backfires and makes it harder to bridge the gap between us. Not to mention that people who point this stuff are called \'incels\' or \'pick me\', instead of tackling the issue. [This video perfectly sums up what I\'m trying to say. Keep an open mind, and maybe we can learn about this in the future!](https://youtu.be/tSw04BwQy4M?si=_CTW8bHD3t7t3R4U)\n\n>Men are not dumb; they are the lowest common denominator. There\'s a reason y\'all used to be sent off to fight wars -- a situation where you need to pick a fraction of the population to fight and die, men are both\xa0*the most expendable*\xa0and the easiest to "mass produce" for the purposes of war.\n\n>Those traits are NOT as useful for most things in a modern society where the stakes are often not that dire and haven\'t been for a VERY long time.\n\nInterestingly enough, Republican men (or at least the younger ones) are some of the most anti-war people you can think of. They\'re isolationists: against the idea of getting involved in foreign countries wars, sending them money and weapons, etc. That being said, even though masculine traits were used for wars, doesn\'t mean they don\'t have their uses in the modern day. Strength, courage, resilience, and assertiveness still have significant value in modern society, from emergency services, construction, military, to even sports. I don\'t think there\'s anything wrong with masculine traits. I think they just want to be valued for it, and again... not held against it. That being said, I understand liberals concerns for toxic masculinity ( like aggression, dominance, and harmful behavior and attitudes from it). Having spoken to many Trump supporters online... they\'re quite the boisterous bunch. Quite angry too XD\n\n> Again, they are being catered to as low-hanging fruit, because men don\'t require things like "childcare" or "birth control" -- they can be kept in a lonely, horny, angry state indefinitely, with very little care or feeding, and it makes them very easily manipulated into believing SO. MANY. THINGS.\n\nActually, I agree. And I think it\'s because of this that the political messaging we do cater to men doesn\'t sway them away. I think Kamala\'s campaign TRIED to do that, but.... well, it was a desperate attempt: caring less about men\'s issues and more about "Hey men, we care about you.. helping women". And while that is the goal... you still have to present it in a way that\'s not using men as a tool.', 'created': '2024-11-08 02:00:34', 'submission_id': '1glx2s7'}

They also think that Trump is the candidate of less wars so in their minds voting for Trump was a desperation attempt at any sort of change because nothing has really changed up until now.\n\nNetanyahu was definitely slow rolling the cease-fire talks though until after the election and now definitely until inauguration. I think it just stands now that Palestinians won't see any relief for a couple months still if any.\n\nAlso, Muslims and Arab-Americans are pretty socially conservative, did you guys see the video about them banning the LGBTQ flag in the Detroit suburbs and all the slurs about the community they were saying?

Harris promoted solid Democratic plans and values, such as Social Security, reproductive rights, middle class tax cut, common-sense gun safety regulations such as a renewed Assault Weapons Ban, etc. Her appeals to Republicans were more about voting for decency and democracy without any compromise on Harris' proposals. \n\nMoreover, Harris has millions more votes to come in, from CA (only 55% counted thus far), AZ and NV. I do think she will end up with less than Biden in 2020, but certainly not 15 million less. \n\nIn any case, the national vote totals don't win or lose the election. In Michigan, Harris lost by about 80,000 votes. That means that if 40,000 people switched from Harris to Trump in protest, or if there was a combination of some switched votes and some no votes for either candidate that ordinarily would go to the Democrat, again in protest, it may have made the difference in MI.

Most of my colleagues are cheerleaders for prevention of caries and other preventable oral diseases and would be giving the public the same recommendations.

{'comment': 'Not necessarily. Obama ran and won. By the time 2028 rolls around Trump will be even more incoherent than he is now and even his already thin comb over won\'t be enough to spread around and his spray tan will sink into deep grooves and flake. The reality is that someone needs to run against him and a woman won\'t win. So why not cultivate a realistic alternative who can run against him now? \n\nBurt is either too old to walk or dead, Sam Elliot is too old although he talks tough and is a cowboy. The Rock is tough but might be too intelligent for the no college degree "don\'t make me think" crowd but if he does a reality TV business show about his investments and life for a year or two before he might work. We need a tough guy cowboy barroom brawler type who\'s angry all the time, will sing and dance and carry on and talk at a fourth grade level just like Trump if we are going to ever have a viable candidate again. \n\nBIden was a "tough guy" from Scranton, had a solid and deep political base and career, could talk tough with all the "come on!" and was associated with Obama so won that first go-round.  We need the fresh equivalent with some charisma or preferably a TV / movie guy with swagger and appeal to uneducated rednecks who (let\'s get real) make up most of America. They don\'t care about issues they don\'t understand, that\'s why they vote against their own best interests. They vote on appeal. Who seems more fun? Who seems more of a tough guy cowboy type?

{'comment': 'Whoever is hated by the right is irrelevent. Really. Kamala spent most of her campaign trying to cater to Republicans and "undecided" voters (which really means Republicans who don\'t want you to know that or think they\'re actually caring or can read and write) and it got her nothing. McCaughnehey is a good idea but he will be portrayed as weak and wimpy and a sissy boy. He needs to do a reality TV show about his cowboy lifestyle and redneck upbringing or more movies and some action tough guy stuff now if he\'s going to be considered viable. Biden was tough and so forth but was middle of the road, a centerist. McCaugheny is a Dem right leaning as well or a centerist at best, but doesn\'t come across as a barroom brawler tough guy (at least not yet). Good idea, might work if he\'s catered to and taken seriously now and prepped. \n\nWill the Dem leaders do it? Not likely. They\'ll likely prop up whoever is the viable insider politician instead.

{'comment': 'Look, Republicans got Reagan and he was wildly popular and the last President to have such a staggering landslide as Trump did. They both had an established BRAND. Reagan was a B or C level movie star (remember "Bedtime for Bonzo?") and he played barroom brawling tough guy cowboys. He was elected Governor of California and later ordered the National Guard to handle student protests. The police, no surprise, went beserko and opened fire on some of the kids as a result. Trump was a reality TV star portraying a tough talking "businessman" while in real reality had almost no business success of any kind but an ego the size of Venus. \n\nSo if Dems seriously want to compete in 2028 (which I doubt at this point), they need an equal force, not an opposing one that would be a sensitive caring woman of color with a brain (that didn\'t do too well). \n\nSpringsteen would fit the bill: tough guy, macho man music, swagger, long history. BUT he\'s in his seventies. It might work in four years or he might be pushing up daisies by that time as much as I love him. Bon Jovi could just as well be a candidate but would not appeal to redneck tough guy cowboy types who can\'t read or write. Willie Nelson is too old, also but would otherwise fit the bill if he took some acting classes and made some movies and got some angry self-righteous swagger. \n\nEvans seems like a cool guy, played Captain America, did lots of action movies, seems like Mom\'s apple pie (or rather mom\'s frozen Walmart apple pie covered with a pound of sugar). If he did a reality TV show about his investments, intervied about them (supposing he has some), became more visible over time and didn\'t come out as a potential candidate until "Surprise!" a year before the election. He might fit the bill. He\'s polished on camera as you\'d expect, in great shape physically, can talk in front of the camera without stuttering or being painful to watch (remember Bobby Jindal as the Republican answer to Obama? Painful to watch and then he was shown the door.) He just needs to generate real swagger, remind everyone of authentic scary-level tough guy credibility (like a reality TV show showing him working out, fighting in the ring with opponents, going over investments) and so on. Remember, Trump had about a decade hyping that "Apprentice" fantasy world where he was George Lakoff\'s archetypal "stern father figure" yelling "you\'re fired!" at celebritiy posers or cardboard extras in a stage office setting "awarding" non-jobs at prop companies. Evans would need some strong messaging to essentially say "see, I can do that, too! Plus I can legit fight and yell and carry on." \n\nI mean yes it sounds stupid, but it\'s the real world we live in now. If Dems want to win, start recruting what the GOP has been recruiting: tough guy tough talkers who appeal to uneducated redneck types who are fun and exciting to brain-dead voters but here\'s the switcheroo our Dem candidates would be the Trojan Horse in that they could legit read and write, be pro-education, pro-LGBTQ rights, pro science, but not push it on voters and just say they believe science is real "but you decide" and so forth. \n\nEvans is a good pick. Just with the Dem upper level would stop looking at Hakeem Jeffries and Buttigieg or Gretchen or Newsom who are fantastic guys and smart as all get out, but can\'t win against Trump. Newsom and Gretchen can\'t win nationally outside their bubbles, just like Jeffries (scary black male with no TV / movie experience) and Buttigied (gay intellectual = won\'t play in the south so why run him). Call a spade a spade, suck it up, and do what works. They\'ll likely run Jeffries or Buttigieg or Gretchen or Newsom (who I KNOW is jonesing to run hard as is Buttigieg and Gretchen). Put up what has a chance. Kamala lost bad, as in real bad, she got her clock cleaned and enough is enough. One crushing defeat should be enough motivation to go in the opposite direction and run what worked for the competiton. We have tough guy celebrities who are white men, they can be trained to compete and adapt, who are adept in business in The Real World, and can appeal to uneducated college drop outs, wannabe cowboys, and angry rednecks who are disenfranchised. Just position them in secret, train them in what to say and how to build their brand and commit to a Top Three pick and see who comes along.

{'comment': 'I want Republicans to win by a single seat... which (humor me for a moment) sets an entire row of dominos to fall:\n\n* Repeat of 2021... but worse. For several weeks, Trump and the Freedom Caucus will try to bully House Republicans into electing a Trump-approved extremist as speaker. They\'ll lose, and lose, and lose.\n* Eventually, House Democrats hold their nose, and offer a few House Republicans like Dan Crenshaw a deal: switch parties, agree to rules guaranteeing members elected as Democrats can periodically force items to come before the House (even if the Speaker objects), and elect one of the party-switching ex-Republicans as Speaker.\n* Trump & Fox News go *nuclear* with rage.\n* Trump orders someone under him to take action against Dan (or whomever else is involved) that might or might not technically be constitutional... but it doesn\'t matter, because they refuse to obey & angrily tell Trump they aren\'t mobsters.\n* Trump tries harder and harder to find *someone* who\'ll carry out his orders against not only the House member(s) who switched, but everyone who refused to carry out his vengeance, until JD steps in and invokes the 25th Amendment declaring him to be mentally unfit.\n* The House and Senate are utterly and completely freaked out that a President -- even Donald Trump -- would *actually* try to do what Trump just did. The House impeaches him within hours (possibly, within *minutes*), and Senate Republicans take full advantage of the opportunity to beat Trump to a bloody political pulp before convicting him (which Mitch McConnell later describes as "the most satisfying thing I\'ve ever done").\n* During the aftermath, George W. Bush (and many, many other high-profile Republicans) angrily leave the Republican Party in disgust... saying Ronald Reagan would have been ashamed of the Party\'s present-day leaders, and calling Trump a pox on American democracy. By the end of 2025, the House and Senate are both firmly in the hands of Democrats (due to all the members and Senators who switched parties).\n* JD (and his new VP, Nikki Haley) spend the next 3 years walking on glass trying to do damage control, even as the party continues to hemorrhage both elected officials (at the federal, state, and local level) and registered voters in the aftermath of the worst scandal in American history. In 2028, they\'re shredded by the angry remnants of the now ultra-radical Republican Party who blame JD for removing their god, and Haley for trying to be an adult in the room.\n\nRight now, the Republican Party is celebrating victory... but below the surface, it\'s like tempered glass under *immense* tension. The slightest nick, and it\'ll shatter beyond repair. **This is the boss level of American political chess**, and the best (possibly *only*) opportunity the party will get to *completely* derail all the evil Trump and MAGA have planned for the next few years.\n\nThe single-seat Republican "win" is essential. If Democrats have a majority, House Republicans simply end up as an angry, embittered minority. Actual party-shattering *capitulation* requires a crescendo of events leading to a moment *so horrifying*, it scares the bejesus out of *Republicans* once they realize that they\'ve unleashed forces beyond their own ability to control.', 'created': '2024-11-08 00:34:41', 'submission_id': '1glv0v1'}

This is not meant to be an attack, just wanted to give some actual information on this.\n\n\nAlabama\'s never been blue. In modern terms of "Blue" at least in modern party values, which drastically changed in the 1960s.\n\n\nPre 1960s democrats were, the home of the white supremacist and low to mid income crowd, absolutely no civil rights. And disenfranchised blacks who where not allowed to vote essentially. (This applies to all of the south).\n\n\nThis flipped with Jfk, maybe southern democrats swapped to Republican just to keep Lbj from promoting more civil rights reforms. \n\n\nAlabama Barely won Carter, that was the last "blue" vote, and he won by being a fellow southerner. Even Bill Clinton didn\'t win Alabama and he\'s an Arkansas native. \n\n\nI\'m giving mainly just a cliff notes, because party value swapping is a long discussion, especially since certain important topics change with time. In the 1920s, gay rights and abortion rights was not on either the democrat or republican m.o\n\n\nAlabama had a white supremacist leader who wanted to reverse de-segregation. He threatened military action if blacks even attempted to enter universities that where whites only, (He couldn\'t actually do that. But he sure acted like he could, and the people believed and wanted him to) he won and led as the governor for multiple terms, ran as an independent during the 68 election and Won the Alabama vote.\n\nThere where two prior white supremacist third party candidates, Byrd and Thurmond. Who both won Alabama. So since the 20th century, the majority of Alabama has voted and won the white supremacist candidate vote 3 times. (With Trump I suppose you can say 6 now, tho he hasn\'t said word for word essentially that Whites are the master race).\n\n\nTldr.

{'comment': 'I love this but I want to talk about point #2 you made… \n\nI see a therapist regularly. Started in 2016, as I’m sure a lot of people did. I asked her about her opinion on the psychology of each political side and she stated that democrats in this country and liberals elsewhere are highly neurotic folks. We spiral on our mistakes and are probably perfectionists in other aspects of life, to an extent. Not all of us but I suspect a large portion identify this way. The current GOP experience a collective Dunning Kruger effect and overestimate their limited abilities. Imagining myself as such a person gives me anxiety honestly lol. I think it would be really hard to change what makes us liberal, the fact that we want to be deliberate and present the best ideas that help every hard working American is like really ingrained in our belief system. The GOP just has one thing “tax cuts for the rich” and everything else is their way of dividing the 99%. They don’t care about the working person so they do not need to aim for perfection because their position is relatively simple. \n\nI’d love to understand if others see it that way, but is this part of the issue with our side?? I feel like it’s inherent in our value system that we behave this way. \n\nAnother interesting note: I asked my therapist early on about her politics because I felt scared to see a person who wouldn’t understand my anxiety about being a woman of color, first gen American, LGBTQ, etc. she said that in her field, she hasn’t yet seen a MAGA type therapist, EVER in 30 years of practice.

{'comment': 'I know I\'m just one voice in a sea of many, but I want to also suggest: \n\nIf you find yourself in a place of privilege where you feel safe to voice your opinion without fear of reprisal - particularly us straight white men - your job from now until Jan 20th is to throw an axe at every Trump voter in your circle\'s disinformation bubble and make a note of what they *say* they voted for so you can personally hold their feet to the fire when the shit hits the fan. \n\nYou wanted this, didn\'t you? \n\nYou did this. This is the "economy" you voted for, are you proud of yourself now?\n\nWhat are you going to do to fix your mistake? Because "vote differently next time" isn\'t gonna cut it anymore. \n\nThere\'s real harm and weight about to be dropped on this nation because too many of our countrymen were wilfully ignorant or intentionally cruel. It\'s best for the ones you know to find out real quick which is which. If they want to change and want to fight, help them out, sign them up, and make an ally. (But don\'t trust them where anyone\'s safety could be involved). If they\'re happy with their choice as they see the damage done - let them know you know what they did, and they can\'t hide who they are any more. Broadcast that shit, for the people who need protection and whose lives are at risk, that they can better protect themselves going forward.\n\n\nAnd if you\'re not in a position to voice your opinion safely - keep your head down. Stay safe, stay quiet, keep your eyes peeled. If you have a friend who is trans, no you don\'t. You know an immigrant family from down the street - they were born here as far as you\'ve heard. Someone new invites you to a protest downtown - that sounds like a waste of time, you\'d never be interested in something like that. Trust nobody who doesn\'t have skin in the game. Clean your socials, put the mask back on, and protect yourself and your loved ones as best you can.\n\n\nWe all have hope that this won\'t go as bad as we think it\'s going to go.

Its contents, which include a broad expansion of executive powers; a de facto national abortion ban, increased restrictions on contraception; brutal policies against undocumented migrants; and the elimination of several federal agencies (including the Department of Education), didn’t sit well with prospective voters.\n\nTrump feigned ignorance of the plan,\xa0[despite his close ties to those involved in crafting it](https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/donald-trump-project-2025-1235053996/), while Democrats did all they could to warn about the conservative blueprint for a second Trump term.\n\nSure enough, less than 24 hours after the election was called for Trump, his allies, advisers, and prominent supporters were celebrating the now-open road to Project 2025’s implementation.\xa0\n\nOn Wednesday, former Trump adviser\xa0[Steve Bannon](https://www.rollingstone.com/t/steve-bannon/)\xa0— who just weeks ago completed a\xa0[four-month prison sentence](https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/steve-bannon-civics-lessons-teaching-prison-trump-1235144548/)\xa0on a contempt of Congress conviction —-\xa0[lauded](https://www.rawstory.com/steve-bannon-project-2025-admission/)\xa0Christian Nationalist Matt Walsh, a commentator at The Daily Wire, on his\xa0*War Room*\xa0broadcast.\xa0\n\nWalsh had\xa0[written on X](https://x.com/MattWalshBlog/status/1854164649433858119), formerly Twitter: “Now that the election is over I think we can finally say that yeah actually Project 2025 is the agenda. Lol”\xa0\n\n“Matt Walsh, I think, is a very smart and funny guy,” Bannon said. “Put that everywhere,” he added, with instructions to his staff to promote the post on his social media.\n\nRight-wing podcast Benny Johnson also gloated about the project. “It is my honor to inform you all that Project 2025 was real the whole time,” he\xa0[wrote](https://x.com/bennyjohnson/status/1854082770592526445).\n\nIn a separate post, Tarrant County GOP Chair Bo French\xa0[wrote](https://x.com/Bo_French_TX/status/1854209779478261990), “So can we admit now that we are going to implement Project 2025?”\xa0\n\nRegardless of whether Trump explicitly endorses Project 2025 as a guide for his second administration, the overlap in its proposals, staff, and goals means the two are inextricably linked.\xa0 Republicans just don’t have to pretend anymore.', 'created': '2024-11-07 16:14:01', 'submission_id': '1glsaqu'}

I\'m reminded of Sartre\'s quote about antisemites (which applies to basically all fash and similar ultra-reactionaries):\n\n> Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words.

{'comment': 'Yeah, I\'m a white guy (although, I\'m a Xennial, so I don\'t fit into that generation/demographic), and I guess I don\'t know or care how Democrats can appeal to young white men, specifically. I agree that the focus should be on the working class, and Democrats should focus their economic agenda on bolstering the working class. However, Joe Biden as president did that, and Kamala Harris campaigned on an economic agenda of creating a strong, thriving working class. Jobs, union support, tax breaks for middle-class Americans, investments in manufacturing, student loan forgiveness, etc. Biden did/was doing all of those things when he wasn\'t obstructed, and Harris campaigned on continuing that agenda. That should be good enough. I never thought I\'d see the day when progressives had to reexamine their platforms so that they can appeal to young white men. Give me a break. "Okay, these initiatives will help all young adults, but for you young white men out there, this one\'s for you! A free gaming system every time a Democrat is elected to the presidency." Like frickin Oprah? "YOU get an Xbox! And YOU get an Xbox!"

{'comment': 'From my time as a Republican, my anecdata suggested that there were a lot of conservative Hispanics and other immigrant groups who shared the basic Republican sentiment that "illegals" should be rounded up and deported. They themselves came here through the legal process, so all the "illegals" should get kicked out. This, of course, ignores the fact that people seeking asylum are allowed to be here and they\'re coming here the way our law prescribes. Not that any of that matters to them.\n\nAlso, the idea that they were concerned about the economy is absurd. No they weren\'t. They didn\'t like how the economy was going -- I\'m sure they held that sentiment. But to say that they were concerned about it is just factually incorrect. It\'s an idea that can be disproven with evidence, which is that they helped Trump win.\n\nAt best, it might be fair to say that they were concerned about the economy but to a lesser extent than their other priorities, including actively not being concerned with the economy. It\'s like how maybe pro-life people are concerned about the lives of the unborn, but that\'s a lower priority to them to virtue signaling about how pro-life they are. They\'d virtue signal from atop a mountain of dead fetuses that their disastrous abortion policies helped make possible if more people could then see them virtue signal.', 'created': '2024-11-07 21:12:49', 'submission_id': '1glrez5'}

But the piece also includes this quote, attributed to another Biden adviser: “He’s going into this thinking, ‘I want to find a running mate I can turn things over to after four years but if that’s not possible or doesn’t happen then I’ll run for reelection.’ But he’s not going to publicly make a one term pledge.” And Biden personally told reporters that Politico’s report wasn’t accurate the same morning it was published.\n\nhttps://slate.com/news-and-politics/2024/06/biden-president-trump-rematch-one-term-promise-nate-silver.html", 'created': '2024-11-08 01:18:27', 'submission_id': '1glqsfq'}

{'comment': 'Don\'t search for one reason because there are likely many, but yes, "the price of eggs and the border" is a big factor. These were frequently rated as the top issues for voters. Rightly or wrongly, voters also believed that the current administration did poorly on these things. Harris was interpreted as the incumbent (probably in part because she didn\'t have time for a full campaign to define her own way and in part because the biggest tick on her resume was being VP in the current administration) so that counted against her. The perceived state of the economy has long been a VERY strong predictor of electoral outcomes.\n\nAlso, it\'s worth realizing that the average voter is not analyzing policy. If they don\'t like the status quo, they vote for change. They don\'t understand the status quo policy. They don\'t understand the change policy. They didn\'t like how things were, so they voted for change (or, for many, they simply didn\'t vote to endorse the status quo which translated to a Trump win). Many people\'s memory of Trump is also complicated... they were fine until COVID hit and they blame many of the bad times on COVID itself so in our "distant" memory that gave Trump a pass for many.\n\nIf it wasn\'t just the economy, the question is: was the problem her messaging or her platform? Harris ran a pretty good campaign all things considered. So, while there are many things one could say about messaging, that\'s probably not "the" downfall. So then it really just comes down to what was it about her platform that failed. Democrats don\'t need to adopt Trump\'s platform, but they do have to acknowledge that despite good campaigns, they are struggling to win the electoral college outside of 2020 when there were major relaxations of in person voting requirements that likely impacted turnout combined with bad times in the form of COVID for the incumbent. It seems to me like the Democrats need to ask themselves why their platform lost appeal in every demographic except black women. That\'s not some fluke, it was across the board. (And the fact that all demos saw an increase for Trump indicates that the answer here was not *just* turnout. It\'s not just that "less democrats showed up". People voted differently.) And the idea that the Democrats\' platform is lacking is [something that has been talked about a lot in the past decade](https://x.com/BernieSanders/status/1854271157135941698).\n\n> In a scenario like this, he will basically have unchecked power.\n\nWhile I completely appreciate that he has a tighter control over his party than before, there is still a limit. Congresspeople are still going to have a limit in terms of what we will get them re-elected in their own districts and the SCOTUS, while definitely Trump-friendly, has also pushed back at Trump at times. So, while I\'m not painting a rosy picture, there are *some* checks on his power. A lot of Trump supporters I talked to rest their support on a belief that Trump does not mean all of the things he says. If Trump actually, for example, put Cheney in front of a firing squad, he would lose a majority support in congress and SCOTUS. If he tried to nationally ban abortion, it\'s plausible that he\'d struggle to get the last few congresspeople necessary to get a full majority. If he make a bill to fully fund a wall or a budget that exclusively partners with SpaceX, he could probably get that through if that\'s how he wants to spend political capital.\n\n> Does it boil down to misogyny and racism on why Kamala lost?\n\nI haven\'t really seen any evidence to support this. If anything, race and sex helped her since black women is AFAIK then ONLY demographic that Trump didn\'t make gains with. But in listening to voters, I really did not hear anybody bring up race or gender as a priority. Obviously there were some attacks to that effect, but people readily volunteered other reasons that sounded the same across demographics and sounded the same as when Biden was running. Ultimately, her polling wasn\'t that different from Biden. It was lukewarm all along.', 'created': '2024-11-07 18:08:07', 'submission_id': '1glqrno'}

Apathy and a huge lapse in critical thinking affect enormous swaths of the population, combined with a healthy dose of casual racism, transphobia, religious extremism, and sexism. “Vibes” and “own the libs” are policy points for them, living in a fantasy land of what their version of “great again” was and should be. “Alpha male” influencers brainwashing gen x with fear and misinformation is taking over, while otherwise marginal issues like “men in women’s sports” is seen as a genuine threat to American prosperity. Of all the Trump voters I’ve talked to, both briefly and at length, I have serious suspicions that it’s as simple as this. Unfortunately, some type of soul searching must be done because this is the electorate Democrats need to win.

{'comment': 'A pattern that I\'ve noticed with debates is the fact that despite the good and valid points made with the MAGA types, is that they find a way to deny, deflect or attempt to weaponize those points in one form or another. After reviewing the results of this election, I also feel that there is a strong case that the Democratic Party and its constituents have approached conflicts with MAGA in the wrong way. I could just be waffling however, there is some evidence to support it as well. A 2012 Harvard study shows that people are more likely to vote along the lines of someone they feel they have the most in common with socio-politically, there are several others that do as well. When you look at the data from the election, and you see the overwhelming support given to the Purulent Pumpkin, it was mostly white men and women, and Hispanic men (men in general were also swayed to him in varying numbers). What could they possibly have in common with Cheeto Benito? We draw the lines to Nationalism, Christianity, Prejudice and they themselves typically reference "the economy" despite evidence to the contrary. The fact is that they do not have all that much in common with a consistent failure in the business world that spews intolerant and vitriolic rhetoric. A study with the University of Basel, shows that caucasians are the most likely to have a low sense of self/low self-esteem, Hispanic males follow closely thereafter. People with low self-esteem and misguided empathy are the perfect source for narcissists. Source being the externalized fountain of self-esteem for a narcissist. I think that their behaviors are indicators that they are in fact individuals that lack self-esteem as well as people that have relegated themselves to being the "flying monkeys" of communal narcissists. When you present facts, they tend to deflect or deny outright and cite "I heard from a friend that a guy" type nonsense. When confronted with all of the behaviors that the Diaper Dictator exhibits, they excuse it, they reference some random person that doesn\'t have a position of power, they do not by any means contend with the cognitive dissonance that should come with knowing something is wrong. Instead they attack and project their own wrongdoing and prejudice on others. They project their fear onto people, and then accuse them of being controlled by their fear. The list of hypocritical actions, beliefs and statements is books in length across the board, from ethnicity to sexuality and onward. The problem with confronting this kind of behavior, people rallying around communal narcissists like wannabe Thomas Edison, and Persimmon Pol Pot, is that they themselves become an extension of the narcissists they\'ve rallied to. Normal means of debate, argument and discourse do not work on narcissists and their flying monkey cohorts. Words become twisted and cherry-picked, reactions to poor behavior become self-victimization, and accountability becomes unjust, through their lenses of collective narcissism. They will trust the words of their in-group, well before they ever concede to well-researched and proven data. The problem with all of that is this:1. Narcissists thrive in situations where they can be both victim and villain. Accountability measures do not work on them. If it looks bad, and is condemned by the in-group, it can be excused as someone else\'s fault. If their actions have consequences, they are the victim of some imperceivable enemy or circumstance. They are experts in making narratives work for them, and when you have 72 million flying monkeys it is incredibly easy to rewrite entire histories.\xa02. They are impervious to facts outside of their scope of understanding and perspective. Their moral and perceptual needle moves only when they want it to. Even in the face of overwhelming evidence.3. Intergroup hostility and conflict, fuels and empowers narcissists and their low self-esteem cronies. Direct attack only gives them ammunition, it gives them more words and actions to deem others less human, or more ways to claim victimhood. In reality they are projecting what they themselves are guilty of.\xa04. Narcissists have no empathy, and those that anoint themselves as their flying monkeys have more empathy only for those within their perceived group and less for those outside of it. So, appealing to humanity, presenting facts, and regular means of bridging the gaps between people does not work on them.\xa05. They rely on division to maintain their power. The greater the divide in their favor, generally speaking, the greater their power is. I think this election proves that. Because not only was the division of the whole, in their favor, so was the division sewn between members of the Democratic party.\xa0What does that mean for those that voted against Clementine Castro? It means that the rules of engagement have to change, if I am right and we are up against collective narcissism in White Christian Ultranationalist clothing.', 'created': '2024-11-08 02:11:24', 'submission_id': '1glqrno'}

{'comment': 'She didn\'t lose; Trump *won*. She had enough reasons to win based on the case to be made against Trump, the true facts about the economy (it\'s not that bad, many new jobs, etc.) and basic matters of equality, respect, choice, etc. She didn\'t lose. Trump won, meaning the sheer number of people piling on that glom fest is growing. Trumpism won.\n\nThis is a bellwether or harbinger of what is growing and is likely to get worse: exhaustion and simple inability to think through the basic substance of the key issues. The only way forward is to include instruction *in how to think* along with position statements and talking points. There is no other way. People must be taught how to to think. It\'s actually much more doable than it might seem. \n\nJust to give you one example of this idea of teaching how to think (and I realize it sounds odd): when Obama used to say that "x is a *false choice*", he was teaching others how to think. Think about this: he was showing how to life out of the stuck debate and choices, bring into view the conditions of choice, consider that the choice can be ill-constituted (he said "false", which is a bit of a misnomer, but it works). \n\nAs it happens, the one teaching out to think more right now is Trump. He\'s bringing the broader things into view, via a sweeping assessment, and rushing in with condemnation, cherry picking, etc. But he doesn\'t call it those things. Yet he does teach others how to do this. It\'s not quite the same as calling cherry picking what it is, but it is a kind of instruction in thought.', 'created': '2024-11-07 16:46:22', 'submission_id': '1glqrno'}

He’s a manipulator and an actor. He’s charismatic. He appeals to dumb people. And America has lots of idiots and ppl without common sense. \n3. She’s connected to Biden who despite he’s great work people only see the bad. “Cost of living is high so it must be Biden. Kamala is the current vp so she won’t make things better” ppl see her as Biden again and don’t want the status quo.\n\n4. Biden saying he’d be a one term president and then running again then dropping out and the DNC had to do an emergency scramble to find a replacement candidate and at the time it was Kamala but had we had a chance to do a true democratic convention and debates to CHOOSE our democratic candidate like the RNC did lot of people would’ve been better off knowing it was a formal process. Example Kamala basically didn’t “earn the nomination” she only got it because she’s the current Vp. We coulda had a formal convention and maybe had Gretchen whitmer, Gavin newsom , dean phillips, the other lady, even Kamala but no one got a chance to present themselves like the GOP did in primaries. \n\n4.the super short campaign despite the massive endorsements from celebrities the surge of votes from groups like young white men and Latinos went to the gop. Even black men went to the gop. The democrats need to find a way to reevaluate themselves if the want to stand a chance in 2028 as maybe now in an election without trump maybe the DNC has a chance.

If the democrats want to bring a new savior to them maybe they need to play with a new character like maybe have their own celebrity like oprea, Taylor, Beyoncé, the rock, etc. if these still an America by then.', 'created': '2024-11-07 17:06:29', 'submission_id': '1glqrno'}

The people I care about matter too much to me to throw in the towel. I am aknowleding the fear and grief I began to feel on Tuesday night. Wednesday was almost unbearable. That was until I heard the VP speak. \n\nAnd today I woke up with some of the same emotions, but sparks of hope are starting to ignite a candle in the darkness. There will be some more days where it feels like too much--that's part and parcel of the progressive cause. Our county is not only Trump and the people who voted for him. It is so much more than that. \n\nThe gay community knows a lot about resilience. We've seen so much loss and hurt over our lifetimes, but we are survivors. We have also had a taste of what it felt like to live a normal life. We're not going back applies more now than ever. We might get knocked down. It may seem hopeless sometimes and the road will be hard to travel on, but I know there are tens of millions of Americans who share many of the same progressive values.

Potential for electoral corruption - may not see fair races for democrats. Democracy of the US is fragmented and barely holding on at all, if there.\n\nB) The above, but the elections are blatantly rigged, alongside GOP pushes for Trump to run for a 3rd term - and no one stops him in GOP states, some blue states don't put him on the ballots - leading to potential civil disunity/conflict, ultimately Trump gets a 3rd term and the democracy of the US is gone completely - descending into a form of oligarchy or autocracy, potentially a blatant Roman style dictatorship - President for Life.\n\nC)Trump's dismal term - there could be an economic disaster, military disaster, climate disaster that goes out of control - the typical reaction would be that the GOP will suffer in elections as a consequence, and they will lose seats in the midterms maybe, and most likely the dems or some big independent (like a movie star or taylor swift style person) will re-secure the white house. Democracy is fragmented but holding on, and whatever disaster the dems have to deal with will likely cause a GOP president NEXT election in 2032.\n\nD) The terrifying Option - The above, but when things go to shit, the far right is ready for it - and identifies targets within our population to ostracize and blame - illegal immigrants, muslims, jews... etc.. and they will go after them, use the hate to either win the next election or put it on hold through some emergency order, and boom. Democracy is gone, and fascism is immediate.\n\nFrom here? I see them all as potentially equal paths. It's terrifying to me. The only way to get a 5th option, would be massive, and I do mean massive civil resistance, including a lot of the folks who just voted for Trump.

{'comment': 'Could even be why trump was so adamant Biden get back in the race. Just to recap a few things, amongst politicos we know that corporate conglomerates conspired against the American people to artificially raise prices on goods more so than was caused by "inflation". This was for a two part purpose. 1. To recover loses from the pandemic and possible reinstatements of regulation by Biden that trump had rolled back. 2. To make trump look better, statistically voters vote on issues affecting them, like their wallet, and low info voters blame Biden for raising costs instead of focusing their efforts on new regulations to curb price gouging. So a low info voter would believe they were better under trump. Corporate media like CBS, NBC, and ABC are responsible for purposely muddying the waters on this issue to the American public because they are interlocked with the conglomerates who were price gouging. These companies enjoyed their record profits, while Democrats took the blame even though it was republicans who kept congress from passing legislation to fix the issue. Granted this did keep us from a true recession, but the negative impacts to the average american were comparable. And without awareness of this fact a low info voter would assume trump was doing something better.\n\nGetting back to my main point, Trump seemed weirdly worried when Biden dropped out. But looking back I don\'t believe trump thought he was going to lose, but that his win would be less believable after Harris\'s popularity surge. When trump used the same rhetoric on Harris that he used on Biden it wasn\'t because the attacks were working per say. Rather it\'s what he had to keep saying, for it to track with his Qanon canon for after republicans stole the election. Had Biden stayed in the race and lost by these same numbers as Harris, trump would point to America not wanting Bidens failed policies, also use it to claim proof of his debunked claims of election fraud previously. But instead he gets Harris the complete opposite of him. Harris builds up momentum similar to Obamas \'08 run, and I can say from many states I was in that she flipped voters and turned out new voters, on top of the voters Biden had the moment she announced she was running. \n\nI knew and accounted for republicans registering new voters at decent rates. I knew that AIPAC and Netanyahu were conspiring against the Democrats to get trump reelected by going into Palestine much like they did to Ford in the 60s. Wherein Israel could finally take Palestine, while using its lobbying arm of AIPAC to keep American politicians from doing anything (very few stay in office once AIPAC targets you, and MANY on both sides are on their payroll), which AIPAC knew would anger and suppress young Democratic voters, which it did. I also knew of all the republican legislature tactics they put in place after 2020 to take as many votes away from the Democratic voters as possible. \n\nHowever, even with ALL of that accounted for losing by 15 million votes makes absolutely no sense. I could see a couple million, heck even 5 million, but 15 million gtfo of here, the numbers quite literally do not add up. I think we need to genuinely consider that maybe the cult of followers of trump who believe the prior election was stolen from them, tried to steal the last election with a coup, worked with foreign countries to interfere with our elections since 2015 , and promised to go to any lengths necessary to put trump back into office, may have been successful on that promise and stolen the election.', 'created': '2024-11-07 18:40:30', 'submission_id': '1glqrno'}

It’s like you’ve been playing chess for years and all of a sudden you meet an opponent who keeps trying to bend the rules all the time and gets angry and rude during the game and then causes huge fusess calming you cheat when you didn’t. Then one day, after he was seemingly failing and playing badly, he starts winning a ton of games all of a sudden. And you’re like, hey buddy, I know your so obssessed with cheating, but any chance _you’re the one cheating_? It’s healthy to question his intentions when he has proven that he doesn’t obide by morals, values or empathy and seemingly neither do those around him. Narcissists are very calculated, love to cheat and to scheme (know that by experience!) , so it is well within reason to at least question this man’s antics in order to gain power, especially after such an unexpected landslide. Also Musk trying to buy votes and Russia sending bomb threats? I mean c’mon. He has also been saying weird shit too like ‘you don’t need to vote’ and ‘we have a little secret’ and all this shit too. In fact I could write a ton of things he’s done which seem suss. Also his demeanour seemed totally unfazed after the election. Almost as if they all knew. I dunno how they could but I think it’s healthy to at least question it and not avoid doing so just because of January 6th.

Why wouldn’t they? If they know they can charge you $6 instead of $2.50 without pushback, why would they drop prices? And it’s easy for them: people tend to blame the President, not the corporations.\n\nThis is exactly the point—it’s impossible to communicate effectively when people don’t recognize the underlying reality.\n\nVice President Harris has acknowledged that costs are too high and offered a plan to address it… and yet here we are.\n\nAlso - taxes went up specifically because of Trump’s 2017 tax cut for the wealthy. \n\nI agree that misogyny remains problematic.', 'created': '2024-11-07 18:15:08', 'submission_id': '1glqm1y'}

Virtually every speech she made hammered the economic platform. \n\nNewsom or whoever coming in after winning a "normal" primary and saying "I want to address cost of living by going after price gougers and building housing" (which would have been the Dem platform anyway) might have gotten more votes due to the lack of misogyny/racism, but 15 million more votes?

Idiots can do very horrible things when given the opportunity. \n\nThere is some reason to be optimistic though. American gun culture is unprecedented in history. The magas will have trouble enforcing their will on the electorate the way the Nazis did; Nazis were able to disarm their populace, but there's just too many guns here in the US, and the idea of an armed populace is too intrinsic to American identity to make it easy. A slice of their own base will reject any attempt to disarm Americans.\n\nDems need to arm up.

{'comment': 'Really? How will it make the situation even worse, in your view? The only possible way I can imagine is if it results in gun clashes between riot cops and protestors, which they then use as a justification for crackdown/martial law. But I don\'t think this is worth worrying about because the right will gladly false flag anyway to get their reason to crackdown since we know they already did it with the Floyd protests. Peaceful protestors got teargassed at their own church for a photo op, people walking down the street in Portland got scooped up by unmarked feds in black vans for maybe being at the protest earlier in the day, Trump already said he wants police to shoot protestors "in the leg" the first time around, and this time there\'ll be a lot less people willing to say "no." We can\'t assume good faith or adherence to the constitution from the Trump DoJ anymore. \n\nMeanwhile, the victims being armed means that it will take a lot more energy and personal risk to disappear them in the night. The enemy is going to be more cautious and less brazen, and thus move more slowly... If we\'re armed. When we need to keep them moving as slow as possible in hopes that we can retake a legislative majority over whatever fuckery they attempt in 2026 before they can fully dispense with the polite fiction of the legislative process to even begin to salvage it, this is important. The race here is between whether the baddies can dismantle rule of law fast enough or whether we can retake the legislative branch to try and reimpose checks and balances. The people they\'re trying to repress being armed helps buy us time by dint of making the baddies work more slowly and cautiously.\n\nRemember, fascists thrive on normalizing insane things and getting people to look away. A brownshirt tactical team breaking into a dissident\'s house and having a firefight that wakes your whole neighborhood is a lot harder to normalize than a pair of them knocking on your door and leading your unarmed ass away in handcuffs.\n\nThe game has changed, we\'re in early stage fascist takeover territory now. In a normal democracy, guns have no real political purpose, I agree. But we aren\'t in a normal democracy anymore. There\'s a reason why dictators always try to disarm their people first, and the reason I\'m somewhat optimistic now is how alien the idea of disarmament is to the American culture. \n\nI hate how insane it is that I even need to think about this. I want to think that guns should just be a fun hobby, I shouldn\'t have to rely on their presence to dissuade a tyrannical fascist government. But here we are.

{'comment': 'This is all true. But we also have to accept that they associated crime, smash and grab and shootings with inner city blacks, that they associate illegal border crossings with democrats and our sanctuary cities, that they associate not being mainstream sexually and sometimes radically with democrats and they aren\'t wrong, and they associate homelessness and drugs also with democrats, and "free stuff" any social assistance with democrats. They pinned all that on democrats, so what\'s to like? Throw college educated into that mix too, which the majority of the population does not have a bachelor degree, so "elitism". If we fairly see all that from their POV, where they associate all that with costing the economy locally to federally, then they become against many of those who seek public assistance. They ran a lot of ads stating that Kamala was for giving prisoners free sex change operations, and showed an ad with a black guy supposedly in a prison (actor) putting on mascara as they said this. All of that was very effective when an ordinary person says but I go to work everyday, groceries and gas cost too much, my rent is far too high, and I can\'t afford my car payment, and I am none of those things. MAGA very effectively targeted minorities and those that can\'t vote because there was little to no risk to alienate them. There\'s ordinary mainstream, and then democrats to them are "everything else". Kamala falls into the elitism category, so does Trump, but CA is out of reach financially for a huge majority of midwesterners, they could never buy a house in CA. A Californian, seen as detached from their everyday financial difficulties, seen as another Pelosi, seen as a black and an Indian and obviously a woman. They like the image of trump with the machismo look and the "drain the swamp" lie. Having trump sell bibles they then go for the majority of the nation that aligns with christianity more than any other (or none) religion. It was a complete character assisination on democrats, and it was very effective.\n\nDemocrats have an image problem.', 'created': '2024-11-07 15:36:35', 'submission_id': '1glj4sj'}

{'comment': "I hope the national environment will eventually get to a point where an AOC, Buttigieg, or whatnot can run and do well, but I'm not sure when/if that'll ever happen. If they can tap into the suburbs and have strong economic messaging, then theoretically, anyone has a bit of a shot.\n\nHowever, there might be a backlash against LGBTQI+ acceptance from certain key demographics given what happened on Tuesday, it might take a very strong leader (Obama, Clinton, FDR levels) to be able to mix progressive social policies with strong messaging on economics, the border, housing, and whatnot.\n\nThere has to be empathy in terms of understanding certain cultures and what's most important to them, and then figuring out how to balance the differing viewpoints into a concise and consistent message that unifies more than divides. Social policies, for example, are not uniform at all across cultures. Some cultures might be progressive, but there are many that are socially conservative. It is much more likely to be successful campaigning on economic issues because economic issues are generally easier to agree on than social issues.\n\nBoth Dems and Repubs have an empathy problem, but in different ways. Repubs on a macro level largely either don't care about social progress, or at worst want it to go backwards. However, they are better able to connect with economic minded voters and border voters due to how many of these folks not caring much about social issues. The Repubs have good-enough micro level understanding of these issues, which is partially why they dominate in the suburbs and with certain minority groups.\n\nDems on the other hand heavily struggle with micro level empathy and issue understanding. They (and me and many, many folks here) struggle heavily with understanding that many cultures and folks don't care much about social issues, especially when grocery and housing prices are high, regardless of reasons. When many working-class folks see the Dems constantly demonize Trump/Repub. voters because of social issues without giving proper economic and border solutions, the Dems are only hurting themselves and making it seem more and more that they are the party of the rich and spoiled when that's not complete reality.", 'created': '2024-11-07 21:07:55', 'submission_id': '1glipvt'}

I think it was a mistake. \n\nI was saying this somewhere else, a criticism I have of Democratic strategy is we have got to stop trying to science our way to victory. Candidates are becoming too micromanaged in what they can say — you can literally hear the Democratic consultant whispering in the candidate’s ear as the words are coming out of their mouths. Everyone needs to stay on message at all times. Nobody is allowed to say anything unless it’s been poll tested to appeal to the largest amount of voters. The candidates just start to sound fake. They need to be given the freedom to talk like actual people.\n\nI especially liked AOC’s comments around 26:20 and messaging. Democrats are too passive in their messaging, and not being direct enough. When you’re dealing with a difficult topic like inflation for example, it’s not enough to just say “we’re combatting inflation”. We have got to communicate how inflation happened, who took advantage of inflationary pressure to price gouge consumers, and what specifically we are doing to fix it. Democrats let Republicans paint Biden as the cause of inflation without fighting back on the how and the why it was occurring. \n\nAnyways, I think AOC made some great points, and I do hope Democrats move to a more populist message and stop pushing themselves to the center-right.

Although I believe in left social justice issues, like women's rights, it's clear from this election that leading on that is not going make us win anymore. It was more meaningful when people were better off and weren't struggling as much so they had more bandwidth to care about other issues. But our citizens are really hurting financially so it makes sense that they are voting with their wallets.\n\nSo we really have to focus on left wing populism. People were excited about Andrew Yang's Universal Basic Income idea back in 2020. His support was a healthy mix of Republicans and Democrats. But he didn't make the cut for the DNC nomination. I think Bernie Sanders in 2016 was really getting lots of support from both sides, too. People are disgusted by the establishment and right now the right no longer is the establishment as MAGA candidates are winning more than the classic GOP candidates. They are leaving the out-of-date establishment Dems in the dust. We can't have Nancy Pelosi lead us anymore. I don't even think Obama is resonating with people, especially young people, as much anymore. Of course Millennials and Gen X Dems love him, but that's not getting out Gen Z for us.\n\nI don't know who on the Dem side will be the populist voice. AOC is great but I honestly don't want a woman to run again. Bernie is too old. Maybe some Democratic US House rep will come to the surface. I'm just not sure.

So if you’re just going to say the answer is “well we shouldn’t fight for what we believe in, we must move closer to Republican positions” then just go vote for Republicans. I’m not going to vote for a Democratic Party that moves further right than it already is.', 'created': '2024-11-07 15:30:12', 'submission_id': '1glipvt'}

{'comment': "It's not even about being nice. Which I agree, we do need to stop being so nice. But it's really more about coming across as authentic and pushing back against falsehoods as they happen.\n\nI feel like democrats are just afraid of being called left wing, so they worm themselves into these mealy mouthed answers that comes across as fake. The town hall with Kamala was a great example. There were some really politically charged questions in there. But instead of expressly rebuking even the nature of the question, Kamala would try to deflect and ignore the question, and just stick to a poll tested talking point. It was completely obvious.\n\nOne example was like the college student asking how much assistance she planned to give to illegal immigrants. It was a completely disingenuous question. Kamala didn’t answer it though, she just went into a generic statement about immigration. She should’ve confronted the answer head on “actually, sir, the premise of your question is incorrect. My administration has no plans to give assistance to people who are here illegally. It’s just not true.” And then launched into what she would do about solving the immigration “problem”.\n\nActually I think one of the best examples of messaging gone right is a town hall Obama participated in, where he got a question about guns. It is a masterclass in how to message. Dismiss the disingenuous question, then point out the ridiculousness of the other side’s argument. It’s the kind of forceful pushback we need to see from democrats that we don't see enough of.\n\n[https://youtu.be/6imFvSua3Kg?si=e9M8oNeTCWJARF5U](https://youtu.be/6imFvSua3Kg?si=e9M8oNeTCWJARF5U)\n\nI feel like Pete Buttigieg also does a good job of this.

Hence the donations, the rallies, the strong ground game. Her message of joy and civility resonated with us. I also think that, this time around, the party at least managed to minimize the infighting. Even the Uncommitted movement endorsed her near the end. But it wasn’t enough. \n\nThe problem was with the independents and those with loose party affiliations. She tried to make a broad appeal using respect for the rule of law and the spector of January 6. But people just did not care. People can’t afford to care when they’re preoccupied with the economy. This is where the campaign may have made a mistake. They should have known that people are so, so willing to ignore Donald Trump’s many flaws, gaffes, and crimes. \n\nUltimately it comes down to the same thing, and I’m not sure it’s worth splitting hairs about whether Dems didn’t show up or whether the base is just not big enough, though I favor the latter. I think the party needs to find a stronger economic message. People act like she ignored the economy, which is just not true. She talked over and over again about her opportunity economy and specific tax credit proposals. I loved the idea of allowing Medicare to pay for home health. But people don’t *actually* want to hear policy. They want to feel like their anxieties are being seen. I heard her once say that economic policy requires a scalpel, not a sledgehammer.

Every ounce of economic data proves that the GOP is shit for the economy and the average American, yet Americans believe the inverse. \n\nWhy? \n\nBecause the Democratic Party also supports social policies—policies that are based on ensuring social equality. This means that Democrats talk about trans rights, gay rights, police brutality. Most Americans aren’t affected by that, but still have to hear the discussions because Democrat politicians still talk about it, because it still exists. Trans people exist. Black people are incarcerated at higher rates than white people, and that still matters.

Article 14, Section 3 says no one who gives aid or **comfort** to anyone who engages in rebellion may hold any government office.

{'comment': 'I hear you. I’m a black woman. The misogyny and bigotry was my biggest concern when Biden stepped down and before Harris was official. It definitely played a part but I think to solely blame it on that is shortsighted as there was more than just one thing at play. 45% of women also didn’t vote for Harris. Some of that was still misogyny, but not all of it. Americans have been hearing about democracy falling and the divisive rhetoric for almost a decade now. A lot of ppl are kind of numb to that now and just don’t care as much about democracy falling, they care about their day to day - buying groceries, paying rent, etc. I thought Harris would’ve been a phenomenal president and she didn’t have to win my vote bc I knew the existential crisis that was Trump, but even I didn’t think the continuation of highlighting her plan to make it easier to buy a house and start a business was the best way to go when ppl are screaming about the cost of groceries, gas and rent. That’s just my opinion, I know we all have different thoughts on what happened. But ZERO doubt that the bar was set ridiculously higher for her bc of the misogyny and bigotry.', 'created': '2024-11-07 16:39:12', 'submission_id': '1glfu87'}

Similarly, I believe (or at least hope) that sexists are a minority and that most people want equality, but when the rhetoric commonly blames and accuses men, you push away some who might have otherwise been easily convinced to join our fight.\n\nAnother major issue is that most people don\'t really fact check, so whoever tells "the truth" first is the one that\'s automatically believed and the other side faces the uphill battle of convincing people that they\'ve been fooled. The Republican Party knows this and capitalizes on it. They hit hard and fast with a barrage of lies that sound convincing, and it works every time.

They shouldn\'t have things forced on them. \n\n\n- Religion is great, keep it out of the government and schools. Separation of church and state. Push for it! I literally **never** heard this topic this election cycle despite this Christian Nationalism being a main aspect of project 2025 and the Republican party as a whole. Everyone has the freedom here to practice what they want, or to not practice. You don\'t need to rely on a religion to teach morality and basic human decency, and relying on it for you personally isn\'t a crutch. \n\n\n- Just because you think that you made no mistakes, doesn\'t mean you didn\'t. When Harris was on the View and stated looking backshe wouldn\'t do anything different while also saying her administration would be different, that was very annoying. People obviously cared about illegal immigration. You wouldn\'t have changed what you did knowing the hindsight? It\'s okay to admit fault in a problem and to be dedicated in fixing it. We are all humans and make mistakes. Insisting you\'ve made no mistakes makes you feel un-human. \n\n\n- For gods sake, make men feel appreciated for the roles they serve. Criticize the rapey ones absolutely, but when you have supporters cheering about all men being trash, or men in general being trash, it really doesn\'t make a welcoming environment. For all of the talk Kamala made in the race about her parents, I hardly *ever* heard about her dad. Maybe he wasn\'t the greatest, I literally do not know. But I heard about her mom literally tons. You have to uplift and point out all the positive role models in your life male or female. Pandering to one side when you are already a woman is just ... Unfathomable. Guarantee if you make it a point to give men gratitude for the role they play in your life, or empower others to thank and praise the men in their own lives for helping them or whatever it may be... You\'ll gain some traction. So many men walk through life and get treated as it\'s a completely thankless job. Thank them where it\'s needed too. \n\n\n- Celebrate the achievements of former democratic presidents while acknowledging their shortcomings. Obama was great, we can\'t ride his coattails forever. He didn\'t do some things as well as he should\'ve. \n\n\n- Stop being anti-gun. Stop with the assault weapons bans. You\'re only banning guns that look scary. Plenty more have immense opportunities for hurt. Similarly, a lot of people, particularly in rural America, strongly associate their identity with firearms. The second you attack their firearms, you are attacking their identity and you shut them out. Is it fully right? No. Is it a compromise this country will have to make for a long time still? Yes. Stop making yourself a demon. The AG from California (state that hates guns) wants to put in an assault weapons ban. That literally just added fuel to the fire that "Californians are coming for your guns".\n\n\n- Similarly with California, stop looking to California for the answer. Silicon valley is not your friend. EVs are not your friend. EVs are still incredibly expensive and an incredible pain in the ass. Stop letting states impose a forced EV mandate when clearly it\'s very unpopular. European nations are also starting to roll these back. \n\n\n- Actually deliver on promises you make to young voters on issues they care about. The one thing Biden did for young people was the student loan forgiveness plan, and that completely fell through. He held up his hands and said "welp, that\'s all I can do." So many people, who voted for him, are rightfully pissed. Even when the supreme court decided that presidents can\'t be held accountable for illegal actions taken in office, he did nothing. Don\'t be afraid to weaponize Republican\'s own agenda and achievements of their party against them. \n\n\n- Make young people a visible part of your administration, whether it be part of the EPA, FDA, FCC, Press Office, etc. Show that you want them around. \n\n\n- Have a coalition of young leaders decide the direction of the party moving forward. No DWS, no Pelosi, no Schumer. AOC, Jeff Jackson, etc are the future of your party and can get young people excited for what\'s to come. Nothing is more annoying/cringe than seeing Schumer on TV acting like he knows what a selfie is or what a "brat summer" is. \n\n\n- Start showing your damn teeth. The Kamala campaign finally started showing their teeth way too late in general. Call it like you see it, post out facts, with either video or transcripts or audio or whatever. Call it like you see it and call out the bullshit. My biggest complaint (and prediction) is that they\'ll see the "being mean" part of this campaign as a failure and reel it back in. That was honestly one of the FEW ways it worked!\n\n\nThere\'s a lot of ways to go about this. And there\'s a lot of enthusiastic people out there, and a lot of angry people. Start channelling that anger *now.*\n\n\nBe the party of anger, of genuine outrage. If something gets out of hand and a show store or a Grocery Store gets looted, call that shit out! Protest behavior does not equal lawlessness. That\'s always inexcusable. \n\n\nI could say so much more... But I\'ll leave my 2¢ here. I\'ll see you all in 4 years when the shit show is over.', 'created': '2024-11-07 06:51:31', 'submission_id': '1glf04z'}

They are completely and totally focused on their urban/suburban cores and have totally neglected county level parties and local races outside of the cities. \n\nThat’s such a big mistake. It would be painful, long work and involve taking a lot of losses, but if you get to a point where you’re losing rural places 60-40 instead of 80-20, those margins can start slowly tipping states more competitive. While also giving you a party more in touch with the whole of the country because they are out talking and competing in the whole of the country. I don’t know how to make this happen, but it is so necessary. Republicans have a very strong local politics game in the Midwest.', 'created': '2024-11-07 05:19:51', 'submission_id': '1glf04z'}

They think we're electing their lives from cities, disconnected from their world and problems and don't feel seen or heard. Credit to conservatives, on a local level, they actually do help out those towns and listen to their constituents on things like drug rehabilitation programs and such.\n\nThe people have spent decades electing conservatives into local governments and created an actual grassroots movement that's deeply rooted there. The reason Trump got so popular is that they felt the people even they elected into the federal government weren't listening to them anymore and they believe Trump is the only person who truly hears them. None of us have met them where they're at or even hear why they would vote for someone like Trump. They aren't all racist bigots, they have very bad actors among them but the average small town republican just sees their towns become poorer and people moving into liberal cities and they feel left behind and unheard.

We got punched in the mouth and we\'re on the mat. Democracy in getting the 10-count as we speak. Are we going to just lay on the mat, let the count expire and lose for good? Or are we going to get up and take the fight back to them? If this was reversed do you think they would just lay down and take it? When they lost in 2020, did they just lay down and take it? No. They damn near pulled off a coup.\n\nNow I\'m not saying we need to do a coup. I\'m not even saying we need a protest. I\'m saying we all need to stop moping around like a bunch of giant pussies. We need to regroup and figure out how we\'re going to prevent them from completely screwing over America even more over the next four years. We need figure out who we\'re going get behind for 2028. We need to figure out how we\'re gonna take the house and senate in 2026. And we need to figure out how we can beat them going forward, because the current playbook aint working!\n\nDems need to stop messing around with this "nice guy" shit. Nice guys finish last and Republicans have not been playing nice for a long time. The DNC leaders need to start learning from mistakes instead of repeating them. Hillary losing to Trump in 2016 proved that America wasn\'t ready for a female president. Why did we not learn this lesson? Why did we gamble that maybe America doesn\'t really have a misogyny problem and play it back again this time? Why did we make it even harder by putting a non-white woman up this time?\n\nWe did it because she was the obvious best candidate in short notice. She also was probably the most deserving given the situation. We did it because we learned nothing in 2016. We did it because all things considered, it was the nice and right thing to do.\n\nBut as the saying goes: Nice guys finish last. And I can tell you, being a nice guy my whole life, there is a lot of truth to this statement.\n\nDo you know who isn\'t nice and doesn\'t play nice? Trump and MAGA. That\'s who. They didn\'t play nice. They acted like outright assholes, and the reaped the rewards that play yielded against an opponent playing the "nice card". We were honestly LUCKY we won in 2020. The only reason we did was because of how recent the Trump shit show was at that time. Four years removed, people forgot, because that\'s what people do.\n\nAs a white male it kills me to say this because I love women and I see women as equal. I see everyone that way. But Kamala was never going to win because of her gender and race. I knew it the day Joe dropped out. I hoped I was wrong but it turns out I was right.\n\nGoing forward, it\'s my opinion that we need a candidate like Jon Stewart for 2028. I know he says he doesn\'t want it, but that\'s exactly why he should get it. He\'s a prime candidate in my eyes and I know he would do a good job, because all it takes to do good job is to TRY to do a good job, and I know he would. If we can\'t get Jon, we need someone as charismatic and smart as Jon and he unfortunately needs to be straight white man. Don\'t get me twisted. As far as establishment candidates go, I would love Buttigieg (I even have a PETE 2020 shirt I still wear), but at this point I cannot trust he would win just because he happens to be gay. We\'re at that point now. It sucks. But here we are. We have to play the safe candidate for the next few cycles. We cant risk misogyny, homophobia, or racism be the reason we lose. We need to be smart and long play this if we want to win.', 'created': '2024-11-07 02:23:45', 'submission_id': '1glemcz'}

A lot of Trump supporters I know said "Kamala was installed and no one voted for her" and "she did horrible in the 2020 primary and now she wants to skip the line to be president?!". There\'s no real argument to refute this, she was literally selected and pushed to the top of the ticket.\n\nWhen you have no type of primary and you force a candidate through you run the risk of the base rejecting your candidate and I think that was (partially)what happened here.

{'comment': 'MAGA isn’t a political stance, it is a case of collective narcissism, and its leaders are communal narcissists. That’s why it is so resistant to rebuke, accountability and change. Any response to vitriolic rhetoric is met with deflection and gaslighting. Just like a regular narcissist, that is why its followers gloat and celebrate when they visibly make others upset. That is why its followers lean on cruelty and dehumanization when they take issue with something. That is why the Democratic Party struggles to face MAGA in a “fair” fight. All debating, arguing, and responding does is add more ammunition for the party of Cheeto Benito to twist and cherry pick. Their accusations of others are the things they fear for themselves. Their claims that the left is led by fear, is because they are acting out of fear. Their accusations that liberal men are weak, is because they themselves feel powerless. Their overreach for control of others is because they do not feel like they have control. The major thing about MAGA, is not that its followers are insufferable, and they are. It is that the people that embrace that ideology are people with a weak sense of self. Studies show that caucasians from young adulthood and up in the U.S. are much more prone to low self-esteem, and male hispanics are not far behind them, than any other demographic. The vast majority of the voter base that turned out for the Purulent Pumpkin match that profile. It also explains why they so readily become a swarm of flying monkeys for the communal narcissists that lead MAGA. The people most vulnerable to narcissism are those with low self-esteem. MAGA won’t go away, no matter how blatant and abhorrent their narratives become, because they’re being treated like opposition. That is a theater in which narcissists thrive. The drama empowers them, the emotional reactions can be twisted to fit their distorted worldview. Reacting in a manner that would make most normal people step back and think about their actions, only pushes them further into their alternate reality. The problem with narcissism is that it doesn’t go away. Even worse, those that have willingly become flying monkeys for a narcissist will not readily give up the imaginary empowerment they’ve been granted. Some may sober up, some may wake up and realize after one too many lines crossed. Quite often it is way too late to make amends at that point.\xa0\n\n\n\n\tWhat does that mean for those that stayed on the left side of the fence? Well, we’re probably not going to fully repair the bonds broken by MAGA, those family members that gladly cast aside their humanity and empathy for a sense of belonging aren’t going to be the same even if they apologize and change. However, it means we should approach conflict with MAGA, like one would a narcissist. They thrive and grow on interpersonal conflict, so don’t give it to them. Instead, set clear well-defined boundaries for yourself, don’t cross into the mud pits with them. Think of MAGA as a shitposter on steroids if you have to engage. Don’t give them ammunition to continue creating their victimhood and persecution mindset, you know that is what will happen. Let them talk, and let them eat each other. If you don’t give them conflict, they will find conflict among themselves. That is what happened for a portion of 2016-2020, and a good part of why Biden got elected. Starve the narcissists, do not give them any fuel, do not give them any ground, let them turn on each other again. Do not engage in conflict with them like they are regular people anymore, they aren’t. That is clear by the way they voted for 2024. They are a group of people consumed by a kind of maligned narcissism that does not respond in a rational and equitable manner. Studies show most people vote along that which they most socially identify, they may not all be narcissists, but they are the flying monkeys for them. Do not engage in petty arguments with them, do not give them the responses they want to justify their prejudices and hate and do not let them have the last bit of control you have. Let’s lift each other up, I am sure a lot of support systems are frayed, I know MAGA has split my family and community in two.', 'created': '2024-11-07 14:29:21', 'submission_id': '1glbat0'}

{'comment': 'If Republicans win a narrow (or even not-so-narrow) victory in the House, have a plan in place to watch the squabble between the Freedom Caucus and remaining Republicans for a few weeks without electing a viable Speaker... then offer a deal that could ultimately shatter the Republican Party and lead to Trump\'s impeachment *and conviction*.\n\nAs I understand it, there\'s nothing to prevent a majority of the House from amending the rules to delegate the Speaker\'s control over the House calendar to another member. So, after House Republicans flail around for a few weeks getting repeatedly c\\*ckblocked by the Freedom Caucus, quietly offer Republicans willing to defy Trump & MAGA (using Dan Crenshaw as an example) a deal:\n\n* Switch parties & join the Democrats\n* Democrats (plus Dan) vote to amend House rules creating a second role with the explicit power to go over the Speaker & add items to the House calendar & bring motions to the floor. Let\'s call the new role the "Balancer"\n* Democrats elect Dan Crenshaw as Speaker, and Hakeem Jeffries as Balancer. Basically, Dan gets the title & ceremony, but Hakeem gets tremendous *power*.\n\nFox News & Trump would go absolutely **nuclear**.\n\nIn a moment of ill-conceived rage, Trump would angrily issue an order that might or might not technically be *constitutional* (per USSC), but would be *disobeyed* and *refused*.\n\nTrump throws a tantrum and gives more ill-advised orders. JD jumps at the opportunity to invoke the 25th Amendment (possibly under his sole authority, if there are no approved cabinet members yet) & becomes Acting President. At this point, even *Republican* members of the House & Senate are completely freaked out that Trump would actually *cross "that" line*. Within hours, the House passes Articles of Impeachment, and the Senate makes it *official* a few days later. DJT earns his coveted place in history as the first President, ever, to be impeached *and convicted*.\n\nDuring, or shortly after, the impeachment trial, a large number of high-profile retired Republican officials -- including George W. Bush -- leave the GOP, join the Democrats, and urge others with a functioning moral compass to do the same. Multiple House & Senate Republicans follow, and a tsunami of registered voters begin to switch as well.\n\nWithin weeks, Democrats have near-supermajorities in the House & Senate... while President JD Vance and newly-appointed VP Nikki Haley spend the next 3 years tiptoeing on broken glass playing "good cop/bad cop" trying to repair a broken coalition they secretly know is dead.\n\nCome 2028, JD and Nikki *both* get torn apart by increasingly-MAGA Republicans who blame JD for Trump\'s 25A removal, and blame Nikki for not being "MAGA enough". By this point, all the moderates are gone from the party. Nikki *herself* probably *would* have left, if JD hadn\'t offered her a VP role she just couldn\'t turn down.\n\nAdmittedly, this whole thing would require political chess on grand scale... but it could also be an ironic golden opportunity to seize victory from the jaws of defeat.\n\n===\n\nI honestly don\'t know whether re-nominating Kamala in 2028 (amidst a rupture like I just described) would be prudent or not... but the next Democrat who gets elected President could give her an awesome and well-earned consolation prize where she could do lots of good for many years... in the Supreme Court.', 'created': '2024-11-07 19:19:26', 'submission_id': '1glbat0'}

{'comment': '>I think this assumes all branches are aligned in their interests though. I don’t think they are. Everybody wants tax cuts for rich people and big business - that will get passed like last time and they’ll use most of their political capital on that.\xa0\n\nYou\'re wrong. You\'re operating under the assumption the republican politicians left are similar to what they were in 2016. They\'re not. The Mccains and Kinzinger\'s are gone or have been culled. Those republicans are long gone and only maga republicans are left. And (unlike Democrats) despite whatever small differences they have , they know they all share the same end goals, and toe the line when they need to, as they have shown time and time again.\n\n>Once you start looking at social issues - a national abortion ban, repealing the ACA without a replacement - you’re going to start getting different opinions and infighting, particularly in the senate where there will be a lot of narrow wins in swing states and/or senators in places where there has been a huge pushback on abortion bans at a state level.\n\nAgain you\'re wrong and this is how Democrats lose election. You assume that just because a politician supports banning abortion or repealing the ACA and the constituents don\'t like and will logically vote against that politician. That has been proven wrong multiple times. If anything voters especially in swing and conservative states have shown they will split their vote (vote for a measure supporting abortion while at the same time keeping the candidate that wants to ban it, same with the ACA). Whatever the issue, the maga party has effectively ingrained "loyalty" into its constituents.\n\n>I know this sounds overly optimistic \n\n\\-\n\n>\xa0look at ACA and how Lieberman killed the public option).\n\nYes. And again you\'re wrong to be overly optimistic (not to mention that logic and example is deeply flawed. You\'re example that maga republicans won\'t get their stuff done is to use a shit Democrat/practically a republican that tanked Democrats goals?! Like what the actual fuck dude. Seriously you actually disproved your own point). Flawed logic like that and dumb optimism is how we got in this mess to begin with. Enough with the "let\'s look at shitty things in the most positive light" outlook, that\'s how you lose. Democrats and Progressives need to start looking at things in more "What\'s the worst possible thing they can do" (with the mindset that these maga politicians have had the idea of "loyalty at all costs" burned into them not to mention shared end goals) and operate under that landscape.

{'comment': '> We should be asking ourselves why our messaging isn\'t reaching that group and what can we do to get them to listen, not denigrating them.\n           \nThe messages aren\'t working because we\'re not being honest. The truth is most people in this country are semi-literate, politically ignorant, self-interested dolts who believe they should be richer for no other reason than they see rich people on TV and YouTube. There are jobs you can\'t get because you have too many points on your license, but these people voted for a fucking many times over criminal and walked away from it with the lie it was about the economy. I know everybody\'s not doing well, but this country has come out of COVID with an economy that been called by financial newspapers "the envy of the world". I\'m don\'t live in a bubble, although most of my travel is in the Southeast. I see gas prices that have been under $3/gallon for nearly a year. I see crowded restaurants any weekend I go out. I see people who are pretty well dressed. These aren\'t the working homeless, who exist in numbers that shouldn\'t be in this country. These aren\'t the working poor, who scrape and struggle to give their kids a trip to a McDonalds once a month. These are the people who simply feel there should be no struggles for them, nothing too bad should happen to them, and it does, it\'s just unfair and it\'s somebody else\'s fault.              \n\nDemocrats lie to themselves with the high-minded belief that racism, sexism, and bigotry aren\'t the major drivers in what happened here. Trump didn\'t run the transgender prisoner ad 100,000 times because it doesn\'t work. When Ted Cruz realized he was in trouble, he ran his own version of the same damn ad. This country doesn\'t care about brilliant talented people being their leaders. If they did, Pete Buttigieg would have been Harris\'s running mate, and they would have won hands down, going away. I don\'t fully trust the system, but I know enough about the government to know they can barely organize a parade because of the amount of paperwork involved. These voters believe in patriarchy and supremacy more than they care about intellect and efficacy.             \n\nI\'ve been at the fight for 50 years and I\'m done. Not because I\'m a quitter, it\'s because the game is up. Trump will be able to put at least two more clones of Thomas and Alito on the Supreme Court, and possibly a third. The biggest criminal in American history will wind up packing the nation\'s highest court. The guy who fomented a coup. And the voters shrugged.                  \n\nI\'m done because the opposition is holding a pair of aces and I\'m across the table with seven/deuce off-suit. There\'ll be no coming back from this second Trump administration in my lifetime simply because of the Court. The Court has already said "Yes" to voter suppression, they\'ve already dismantled the ability of expertise to rule the day in federal rulemaking, and they\'ve told the president he\'s maybe something less than a king, but then, who knows? Maybe he is if he just calls his tyranny "official acts. It will be an "official act" for him to ask the Justice Department to investigate anyone who offends him. He\'ll make more use of the IRS than he was able to in the past. And maybe his State Department might not allow you to leave the country even if you want to. Keep believing he can\'t do that. Keep believing he won\'t do that.              \n\nSo I\'ve done the best I could for a lot of years. Kamala Harris was the last best hope of preserving American democracy, and this country couldn\'t bring itself to vote for the black lady. I don\'t have to get hit over the head with a 2x4. I was hoping I was wrong, but I was right. I hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. That preparation is going to be put to the test. I think I\'ll be alright.

Become a strong party that puts the other side in its place or at least keeps them from getting away with everything, even if she won last night, it would have been on a needle thin margin. \n\n\nRegardless, the Biden administration in regards to dealing with Maga did practically nothing, they viewed Maga as a dead threat, despite the obvious Maga corruption within the legislative and the judicial branch, but the administration did nothing. Some strong Democrat leaders tried to do something, but they were the minority within the government level Democrats.\n\n\nIt's still shocking she lost in the sense of just how much she lost. She lost pretty significantly, it also doesn't help that alot of 2020 Democrat voters, just didn't vote this time. They either felt compliant and thought Trump had zero chance of winning, or just didn't want to vote in support for a black Indian woman. It's as simple as that, I also feel like this is a (sad) lesson, since it's now been repeated for the 2nd time. That we are very far away from there being a chance for a woman president.\n\n\nExpect the 2028 Democrat candidate to absolutely be White, Male, 50s-60s. ( saying this in a factual statement, not as a, oh it has to happen thing, tho it does to have a chance of winning 2028).\n\n\nAnd the candidate needs to be a Strong leader, Harris wasn't exactly weak, and given more time to be an active candidate, I believe the numbers could have slightly been better in her favor.

Complete theatrics which might actually move some of the economic populists who have moved to the right. Be on Tv constantly and make a huge spectacle of every dumb thing he does. But Schumer needs to hold the senate caucus together. NO JUDGES! Period. And get the lawfare machine going like never before. Time to play dirty. Theyve done it since 2008 and the dems have been the “responsible “ party and look where it go them. Time to go low. Hog the microphone. Go on Fox. Constantly trash. Build that narrative. And again, if by gods grace they hold on to the house, investigate, investigate and investigate. Make sure the corruption is in the spotlight constantly. Drag Elon in. Slap him with contempt if he doesn’t. Haul in the DOJ. Benghazi the life out them. Again, THE SENATE MUST HOLD ITS SHIT TOGETHER!!!! And if they do away with the filibuster, thatll break the entire system. Next time, if dems come to power, expand the court. Put in 12 justices. Codify Roe. Fuck the norms.

I've been thinking about this all day and I keep going back to this clip of John McCain at a town hall in 2012 gently taking the mic back from a lady who was insisting oboma was a Muslim. I think deep down one of our biggest concern about trump was that we didn't want to believe our politics would devolve into the bully politics that he represents where it's more about how bad the other guys are rather than how good our people are. But reality is that John McCain lost to Obama because he wouldn't stoop to the very thing trump has now won twice for. This is the age of social media good politicians don't matter anymore. It's not about the more honest or decent Candidate it's about the more engaging narrative spun by the more entertaining candidate and trump is the master of that. The truth even bled through with kamala. Some of the highlights of her short campaign wasn't moments she looked good nobody remembers those. The highlights were when she and Tim made trump look stupid baiting him at the debate or triggering the right wing with the weird insult.

{'comment': 'Yea it’s time we stopped being the never trumper party.

Less on social issues, more of actual policy that focuses on the economy and immigration. Two of the biggest things for decades. This was a repeat of 2016 and I’ve seen sooo many similarities. How the dems could blow this yet again just blows my mind. \n\nWe’re not ready for a female president. We’re just not. Dems need to face that fact and move on *for now* from that scene. They tried chasing that Obama magic and it didn’t translate into votes. I refuse to believe ANYTHING that “experts” say the chances of the next dem candidate is. No economical experts, no celebrities. That’s another thing. Sure star studded endorsements are cool and all, but just as in 2016, the rich and famous tried to tell people who they should vote for. And it still did nothing just like 2016. I’m guessing at this point having a ton of celebrity endorsements is a big negative. We had the swifties, we had sooo many celeb endorsements. And still nothing. Taking the high road now isn’t working anymore. It’s time we tried something different. Let’s do what Biden did and meet Trump at the bottom where he is in hell.

{'comment': "There was nothing wrong with the platform. There were two issues: time and messaging.\n\nTime because if she had been the candidate from the start, she would have had much more prep time which in turn would have helped with the second issue. People would have known her more. She would have been able to be more strategic about addressing weaknesses in battle ground states. It would have also helped to make the break from Biden clearer. There were plenty that just saw her as continuing Biden's policies rather than having her own. That leads to the bigger issue of messaging.\n\nMessaging because a consistent critique of the Harris campaign is that people didn't feel like they knew her positions or how they differed from Biden. She also had the bullshit narrative of a non-existent inflation problem to combat. That's a difficult narrative that requires concerted messaging that just didn't seem to appear. There was a lot of messaging around abortion access. That was good to have, important for many, and not relevant to a whole lot of others. For example, there is polling of Gen Z males that show they don't give a damn about abortion. They do care about jobs and the cost of things. Those are topics that were not as strongly messaged as they could have been. The reality is inflation is extremely low and the US is doing far better than the rest of the world. That message was out there, but it's presentation seemed infrequent and weak compared to others. Consequently, key demographics were lost. The Republicans win on that topic even though they're really bad at managing the economy because they maintain a consistent simple narrative of keeping taxes down so you have more money. The Dems consistently lose because they make their economic positions too complicated and academic. People care about their personal finances. They don't care about something abstract like what is happening with inflation because even when you hit good inflation rates like we have now, the cost of things can still be high for a while. There is a lag between inflation and the actual expenses people feel like they are paying. Also, there was a mass disinformation issue. For example myths surrounding FEMA  and what they were and were not doing vs funding. There have been people actually shooting at FEMA crews trying to provide assistance because of Internet lies that they were there to steal property. We've entered a period in which media is no longer trusted for news but social media can be.

{'comment': 'I\'m Latino, but I largely present as white. They doesn\'t change the fact that when I was younger in a more affluent white crowd I was constantly racialy discriminated against. Then, now that I\'m older, I\'m often dismissed for appearing white. Because I present that way, I\'m often regarded has having little bearing on conversations about race.\xa0\n\n\nThe truth is, it\'s about having any characteristics of a majority. If you\'re cis, white, or male often your opinion will he disregarded in many circles. There\'s a difference between giving minorities a voice and taking away the voice of others. Very frequently it feels as if our voice is being taken away rather than making room for and giving someone else space for their voice.\n\n\nSolid example, like I said I\'ve been discriminated in the past due to being Latino. In a case when I was getting my degree, in a class about race and policing I had brought up my personal experiences. Not as a "this is what I\'ve seen, you\'re wrong" but in a "even if it\'s not the same, I can relate." Sort of vibe. I was docked points and told the space wasn\'t for me. In a required class, where we were required to share our opinions for points.\xa0\n\n\nThen, as others in the comments have done they\'ve said things like "men need to realize they don\'t need to rule the world just because they have dicks" and it\'s not an uncommon sentiment. Voices that say things like that, or that white people have no say in certain matters, men\'s opinions don\'t matter on certain topics, etc. Are far to prevelant and really push people away.\n\n\nAnother example with an ex "is don\'t understand how men could see this book this way" :well, as a man I don\'t agree with them, but i think they\'re coming from this angle." "You\'re a man, you shouldn\'t be talking about feminism" (direct quote).\n\n\nThere are plenty of grievances i have, but the thing is in an effort to be inclusive we don\'t police anybody who says exclusive things so long as they\'re a minority. No matter how damaging it is.

{'comment': 'Yes that is partially true, but the issue is, to an extent they are inseparable. If your representatives act this way while representing your cause, it doesn\'t matter how much your cause denies it, to the people your representative acted that way to it will seem that is what your cause represents. The fact is, many spaces that represent these ideas are exclusionary spaces, often purposefully so.\xa0\n\n\nThe other aspect is very rarely are men\'s issues taken into account by the platform. IMO, there are fewer issues that we face but nevertheless the fact that none of the issues are really addressed also makes it difficult. Why support someone who doesn\'t represent you? I supported her because I believe in what she represents, but more than we like to admit everyone is selfish, there needs to be some kind of bone thrown.\n\n\nYoung dudes right now are getting called racists, incels, sexists at the slightest provocation. Simple act that would draw people, have leaders condemn being purposefully mean/retributive. Easy way to stop pushing people away. Then to draw them in, i think the house purchase tax break was a good idea, but it wasn\'t pushed hard enough. I also think addressing other issues like mental health which disproportionately affects dudes in a non-patronizing way could be a major benefit. Like "we all need help sometimes so we\'re adding/increasing the tax break for this service" would also be a great move. At least compared to "yall need to fix yourselves" as it\'s often posed.\xa0\n\n\nAnd then as others have pointed out, the campaign focuses primarily on women. Its like 47 mentions of women to 4 of men. Even just mentioning men more to try and say "we\'re not a threat just trying to better everyone here" would be a major step and would help to assuage the fears that Trump preyed so heavily on.\xa0\n\n\nJust generally the messaging needs to be more inclusive of everyone. Instead of gay marriage, why not "we support the right for any adult to get married to another adult" not just LGBT but also cis. Instead of blm "we believe that the police aren\'t being given the proper resources to deescalate and serve their communities. We want to increase funding for those who want to enroll in crisis training" and instead of defending the police "we believe that the people should have a say in their local police departments! We want to organize a council of citizens who will be responsible for ensuring police funds are used appropriately"\n\n\nJust simple branding changes that are more inclusive. Because the thing is, specifically mentioning a group means that you\'re excluding other groups, or at least that\'s how it can feel. So that would be a key area of growth. And then just sweeping certain topics under the rug. Obviously we will support trans rights, but if we\'re targeting less than 1% of the population here, you\'re only going to get 1% of the vote. Alter it, "we support life-saving medical services and giving people autonomy over their bodies" again, very obviously about abortion and trans rights to medical care but it doesn\'t exclude any group.\xa0', 'created': '2024-11-07 03:51:58', 'submission_id': '1gl6kn6'}

{'comment': 'And i really want to hammer that home. Specifically including groups is the same as excluding others. This is why white lives matter, great replacement theory, and the CRT controversies were a thing. They were billed as supporting a singular group, which no matter is equalizing effect, will feel like that group is getting special treatment. That\'s why those theories spread so much.\n\n\nLike it or not, Trump preyed on the fear that these caused. Even if the net benefit is positive, changing the status quo is always scary. And when the community that\'s doing the changing is often excluding you, it\'s even more scary.\xa0\n\n\nLiterally all that needs to be done to capture even a portion of the male/white/cis population is just to mention them. "I see you, i stand with you let\'s make the world a better place" but the last three campaigns I\'ve been alive and able to actually understand and care about, that\'s never been in the messaging, at least not in any meaningful way.\n\n\nClinton was the worst of the three with her "deplorables" because it\'s extremely divisive language. It doesn\'t invite people to see their errors and change sides, it\'s telling people you don\'t care about them, you think they\'re trash. Kamala and Biden didn\'t make that mistake but neither of them really did anything to make use of that population either. Biden at least got thr guy vote because white dudes could relate to him. Throw in kamala without any inclusive messaging like that and you don\'t really have a candidate strong with that population.\xa0\n\n\nIt\'s really annoying, you can see it in this thread. So msny people are getting down voted for talking about their experience with the party, we\'re getting called sexist even in these comments for expressing our experiences!

{'comment': "Yea all that is fair. I think some of that is that party is diverse coalition so everyone kinda wants something for their faction you know? And I agree with the branding aspect, though I wonder if by taking the inclusive route it makes it harder for the group we're talking about to feel like we're trying to help them. To use the BLM thing, it's like when they started saying all lives matter it felt they undercutting the impact of the original saying despite being more inclusive. \n\nBut question about something you mentioned.

The trump people have been dreaming about what another Trump presidency looks like for 8 years now.

{'comment': 'The issue and fear doesn\'t come from women doing better. At least not for any decent dude and im sorry if i came across that way. The issue is just that when you\'re excluded from the discussion certain entities are able to prey on that fear or uncertainty. I don\'t want to make it sound like men are afraid of that. I don\'t know any men who are afraid of that in any capacity, it\'s just an example of how fear/uncertainty and incomplete messages can be twisted and preyed on.\n\n\nBut, if you stand at the front and say "women need to be paid more" then it\'s going to make men wonder why they deserve more than men. If you say "women need to be paid more at x and y time in their career to match men" that\'s a bit different. One is a lot catcher and easier of a message, but because of that it leaves room for uncertainty where people can be preyed on. It\'s in those simple messages we need inclusivity. Going to the BLM example, when talking about the platform in a few sentences you\'re going to want to say, invest more in the police for better conflict outcomes" and then during rallies, debates, discussing the details you say "x group is unfairly affected by this. Y solutjon is beneficial for everyone *and* that group"\n\n\nThe majority of voters don\'t spend hours researching their candidates. They make decisions based on highlight reels and ther experiences. Our highlight reels didn\'t have anything majority groups\xa0for the past decade or so and that does have an effect.\xa0\n\n\nAnd then, like I said somewhere else it\'s not like that alone lost the election.

Why would someone who is leading in every poll and forecasted to win the election not be endorsed by a major newspaper? Why would Bezos make a deal with Trump behind closed doors? Why would Netanyahu make a deal with Trump about not sticking to a cease fire until after the election? Why would Elon Musk bet on someone who was going to lose...unless he knew that Trump could not lose?\n\nPeople do not change their direction on a whim, they want a sure thing.

{'comment': "Here's the funny thing: a lot of people in Democrats strongholds conceptually don't object to the concept of sharing wealth and bringing people up. Tax dollars going to a federal school lunch grants? Improving education nationally? Propping healthcare up? A lot of states had an influx of people seeking reproductive healthcare because of the loss of this in their home states, and this has put on a burden on state-level resources, but it's accepted all the same because that's what is the right thing to do. It sucks, it probably shouldn't be done, but turning people away because of their politics and the way they vote is still cruel. It _SUCKS_ that this is the way it is, but it is the way it is.\n\nThe unfortunate reality is that the electorate, by and large, refuses to vote for anyone that champions for what is the right thing to do. The electorate by and large simply will not do it. \n\nGOP-led states draining federal resources are a burden, but cutting them off just to spite the poor, the disenfranchised, and the suffering is simply against the ethos of the Democrats. And because this is the way it is, the Democrats' continue to struggle.\n\nThe Democrats, in general, need to appeal to everyone fully, a feat that is pragmatically impossible, because the Democrats seek to represent everyone. They will never be able to do so, and shifting their focus away to represent only those who will vote for them will cause them to lose voters too. It's a lose-lose situation.\n\nCampaigning on empathy and caring for others does not win elections. Campaigning on memes and baser human instincts like fear and hate of the other does. But I'm unconvinced doing so would bring the Democrats closer to electoral success, because everything the Democrats do to appeal to one portion of the electorate can easily alienate the another. \n\nI don't know how you solve the disconnect of voters passive progressive ballot measures state-wide and also voting for the the political group seeking to dismantle those exact same measures.", 'created': '2024-11-07 00:08:47', 'submission_id': '1gl3561'}

When the other part of the country\'s vision for a better tomorrow is literally to kill the other side, mass deport them and take away their rights and don\'t really care about the Constitution/laws, there isn\'t really much of a "shared vision" there. Those are two extremely opposed sides. These aren\'t merely "differences" as you try to paint them. Those are like Civil War level type differences.

When have the Democrats EVER obstructed the peaceful transfer of power when losing? NEVER. We already demonstrated we follow the Constitution in 2000 and 2016. The real question is now where do they go from here, when the next four years means mass deportation, abandoning Ukraine, cozying up to Putin, undoing healthcare, undoing affordable education, harsher abortion and the republican government will pick and choose if a state will get aid during a disaster based on their politics? Your sentiment that onus is on Democrats to always take the high road (AGAIN) as if they hadn\'t before is utter bs\n\n>getting through these upcoming four years, and coming out of them stronger as a result, with a stronger resolve to keep fighting for the values we believe in, and to keep striving to make the country that we love a better place.\n\nYou\'re wrong. Trump\'s first term literally left the country and institutions battered. The SC has never had this low of an approval. Federal agencies now are no longer controlled by experts in their field but will be subject to the whims and random politicians and their donors. More important regulations are on the chopping block. And you think that somehow by some magic the country is gonna be better in four years after mass deportations? Wake up dude. The next four years are gonna suck and not sure how the country will fare. The only silver lining is places like New York and California should be able to hold out for four years simply because they\'re pretty much their own mini countries and have giant economies. But the rest of the country is kinda fucked. If you\'re in the midwest/south/swing states and are minority, recent asylum migrant or lgbtq+, the next few years are gonna be hell.

{'comment': "> it was also not that shocking, not after 2016.\n\nYes and no.  I think of most of us were conscious of the fundamental uncertainty and lack of confidence in this election.  The polls were very, very close, and if traditional indicators maintained themselves, that wasn't good enough because Dems need a substantial win in the popular vote in order to win the electoral college.  You saw this uncertainty and anxiety in most posts.\n\nBut that doesn't mean we didn't all still have hope.  And it's devastating to get that hope dashed.  And there's the whammy of the double-take: wait, not only did Trump win, but we won *after all that*??? Like Jesus wtf he won by a healthy margin *after all the shit he did?*  \n\nSo not shocking but yes, shocking.", 'created': '2024-11-06 15:49:34', 'submission_id': '1gkzekh'}

{'comment': "One thing I do not want to see after this election is what the pundits have to say about the win. I don't want to see them throw Harris under the bus like they did Hillary. I don't want to hear them nitpick at every single sentence she spoke and laugh she made and state she visited. I don't want to hear about how brilliant the Trump campaign was in courting misogynistic young men and men of color to their racist ranks. \n\nAs far as I'm concerned, this election proves only one thing and that is that a woman cannot be elected president in this country now. It doesn't mean it won't happen within the next century. It's just that we are a nation that as a whole does not value women's lives, leadership, and contribution to society. And, that of course, includes many women themselves who do not value themselves and others. The only other takeaway from my perspective is that we have already become an oligarchy and we just didn't know it. Elon Musk and billionaire bros' money played a huge role in unseating Democrats in the Senate and in bribing young men to vote for Trump. In no other time in our nation's 248 years would Musk have been allowed to give away $1 million to male voters. And he even says it wasn't a lottery. They personally called all the guys who signed up and vetted them before deciding which ones would get the money. In other words, they knew whether and for whom they had voted.", 'created': '2024-11-06 18:08:27', 'submission_id': '1gkzekh'}

{'comment': "> Democrats are too disjointed. Some are progressive some are more centrist. Harris tried to unify all of that and crashed\n\nA fundamental problem for the Democrats is they are a huge tent covering a massive spread of opinions, of people from all walks of life, of groups which can have very different opinions on the same topic. The multicultural diversity of the House representatives on the Democrats' ticket is massive compared to the GOP. \n\nIt is incredibly difficult to have an unifying message when saying something somewhere which appeals to one group of people is going to alienate another. Abortion rights are a critical campaigning topic, but while that definitely appeals to a good swathe of people, it is also off-putting to very religious ethnic minority communities who may hear that message and not show up to vote. But dropping this from the campaign would then lead another group of people to wonder why the Democrats aren't campaigning on it. Look at the incredibly painful way of navigating through current conflicts and the downstream effects on certain groups in Michigan -- how do you say one thing to one group of people, a different thing to another group of people, and expect both groups to support you? \n\nThere is simply no way around this. The very ethos the Democrats as a political party represents -- empathy for others, bringing others up, sharing representation, emboldening difference -- was on the ballot, and it got viscerally rejected. \n\nThis, I think, is reality: the way to win is to appeal to voters' baser human instincts. Nothing else matters. Psychologically manipulating large groups of people is what gets them to show up to vote. Flooding them with 6-second TikTok video memes. Simplifying everything to the lowest common denominator. Because nuance is dead.\n\nEmpathy died at the ballot box in 2024.", 'created': '2024-11-06 23:50:07', 'submission_id': '1gkzekh'}

Apparently in this election, Democrats underestimated the number of people who prefer what the other side was selling.\n\nAnd maybe instead of always demonizing the other side to be so awful that it must not be humanly possible to vote for it, it’s a better approach to dig deeper to figure out what is actually going on.\n\nOne can easily rationalize all this by just saying that the country decided to go racist and fascist for a while. There is definitely some element of that.\n\nBut these voters chose MAGA over what the Democrats offered. Not just this election. It has been brewing for almost a decade. \n\nIn the spirit of not being complacent anymore, it is probably time to figure out what is so wrong with the Democratic position that voters decided that, for a while, it’s going to tinker with racism, misogyny and fascism as a better alternative.

Korea escaped us and our invasions, but I don\'t think anyone else did anywhere on the planet, and I mean that quite literally.

{'comment': 'I think it\'s more than a talking point. It\'s a valid moral point about the behaviors in which we have historically engaged in order to obtain our wealth.  We are the richest nation on Earth. The western European nations are the other rich nations.  We like to say that it is our courage, our innovation, our trade, our sophistication, and other talents, along with being the most "advanced" humans that made us wealthy, but there is much more to it than that. It is our global invasions and militarism for wealth.   \n\nI don\'t know if we can be redeemed. We seem to be caught in an endless cycle that allows for only short breaks from the oppression. A book that I have only read excerpts of and reviews on that is of great interest to me is Peter Turchin\'s "End Times". I\'m not sure why he named it that, but Turchin is a complexity scientist with advanced studies in multiple disciplines.  He and colleagues created a ginormous database of western European history data that covers the past 1000 years, something no one else has ever done.  Analysis led to findings that are quite contrary to our cultural propaganda.  He says that our wealth and wealth disparity ensure that we are always ruled over by the worst humans among us.  It takes a certain ruthlessness to even want great wealth and power, and it certainly takes a significant ruthlessness to obtain it. He said that our rulers *always* eventually use their power for self-serving ends at the expense of the society. Because of it we have regular revolutions every 60 - 80 years, when ordinary people rise up in some form to end the imbalance in power. He cites the American revolution, the Civil War, and the labor uprisings of the early 20th century as such revolutions in our society.  He also says we are very, very close to civil war in the US. \n\nThe following is from an article about the book that was published in The Guardian:\n\n"His predictions have a special urgency because western societies, and particularly America, are, he suggests, very near the end of that latter disintegrative phase, which makes the likelihood of civil war or potential systemic collapse far more likely. His model attempts to weight certain factors to predict this social meltdown. Key among them are rapidly growing inequality of wealth and wages, an overproduction of potential elites – children of wealthy dynasties, graduates with advanced degrees, frustrated social commentators – and an uncontrolled growth in public debt. In the US, he suggests – and by association the UK – these “factors started to take an ominous turn in the 1970s… The data pointed to the years around 2020 when the confluence of these trends was expected to trigger a spike in political instability. And here we are.”\n\n[https://www.theguardian.com/books/2023/may/28/end-times-by-peter-turchin-review-elites-counter-elites-and-path-of-political-disintegration-can-we-identify-cyclical-trends-in-narrative-of-human-hope-and-failure](https://www.theguardian.com/books/2023/may/28/end-times-by-peter-turchin-review-elites-counter-elites-and-path-of-political-disintegration-can-we-identify-cyclical-trends-in-narrative-of-human-hope-and-failure)\n\nIf we do manage to redeem ourselves, it will only be temporary as long as we pursue wealth and wealth seeking, allowing wealth disparity, as a foundational value. That\'s just reality. The Earth has its own agenda, its own balance, its own rhythms. The fact that we always want more than we have and more than we actually need to sustain ourselves is a real problem that simply is not sustainable for any animal, not even special monkeys like ourselves.', 'created': '2024-11-07 06:33:53', 'submission_id': '1gkypm9'}

{'comment': "I think that's true on an individual level, but the finer point I'm making is that they don't know how to contextualize the concerns of the voter, to get their message across.  At least not on the grand scale, and in particular among the generally apathetic part of the voter base.\n\nPeople talk about high grocery prices, well, that's an economic issue that Biden couldn't directly control, so instead of just saying that, he talks about how good the economy is, which it is by all metrics, but that doesn't reach the voters wallets in a perceivable way.  It's not that Biden couldn't do something that could help bring down prices, but any efforts are likely to be long term, and not perceivable enough to attribute to him or others who can, directly.\n\nThis is why Trump is more appealing.  he makes promises that he can't possibly fulfill, but it's what people want to hear.  When he doesn't fulfill those promises, he just blames someone else, or more likely, just ignores it all together while everyone gets wrapped up in a new issue.  All of this is happily relayed daily on a roller coaster out of control news cycle, so people stay engaged as he constantly seems like he's recognizing concerns, because he speaks of them directly.

{'comment': "I read this earlier, and I agree with some of his points, but not so much the idea that the democratic party has abandoned the working class.  This is a good example though of how the perception can create it's own reality, and really fits in well with how dems are bad at messaging, while the opposition is good at convincing others they will help, while providing no such help, or in this particular example, actively working against the interests of the working class.\n\nI really don't like to say this, because I like Bernie a lot, but he tends to have this habit of boiling down issues into more black and white talking points.  The reason I like him is he has actual policy ideas to resolve some of these issues, but at times, I feel he helps perpetuate the idea that dems aren't actually interested in helping others, when that is demonstratively untrue.  Dems, as was said before, are a big tent party.  They're pretty diverse on who or how they'll help, but overall, they actually do seem to want to help.  The reason Bernie never makes more traction within their caucus though is because he tends to be more liberal, while most dems tend to be more moderate.  This is why I feel that moving further to the left isn't a solution for the dems.\n\nBut, these are the kinds of discussions that should be had.  Take the time now while there is no campaigning and figure out how to improve, either through policy, or messaging, hopefully both.  If they want to move ahead, they will eventually need to heed the words of people who have been saying for years they need to do this, because it tends to be the conclusion everyone makes when they fail, so it's not like it's some sort of elusive secret.", 'created': '2024-11-07 01:02:00', 'submission_id': '1gkypm9'}

{'comment': 'I’m not an American, I come from Western Europe. I’m a white guy with a Korean partner; and what I’m seeing across the west terrifies me. The amount of racism and bigotry that has been unleashed since the mid to late 10s is astonishing. Recently whilst I was walking down the street with my partner, both inoffensively just minding our own business, a couple of young guys just started blasting gangnam style whilst dancing. They guessed correctly my partner’s nationality but she wasn’t exactly wearing a korean flag! We want kids one day and it terrifies me that they might have to deal with problems I just assumed would be sorted by now because growing up with Obama it honestly looked like we were at such a precipice. \n\nWith the sexist aspect and the push to the right in general. I think the main issue is young men. Across the world - in Korea, China, the UK, France, America, for example - young men are foregoing a college education whilst young women are not. This puts them at a massive, self inflicted(?) disadvantage as a demographic. I don’t think it’s controversial to believe that generally a well educated woman might be less enthused by a less educated man. \n\nThen we have typical masculine areas such as the gym being ‘encroached’ upon. It’s not at all unusual to see a girl in a gym now moving some serious weight. My partner squats more and with better form than a big chunk of men in the gym. Even if they aren’t lifting more weight they’re there which might, to many men, call into question: what is masculinity if the activities I’ve been brought up to believe are inherently masculine - sport, video games etc - now enjoy mainstream appeal to women? A well educated man might criticise received tradition at any time period. Plato, in the Republic, famously argued ‘through’ the character of Socrates that women and men share the same ‘souls’ (not in the christian sense but in terms of mind) and should both be accorded the same civic rights, both train nude in the gym (yeah i know), and be allowed political office. But, since most men today are foregoing education they’re not taught the skills to critically evaluate such things nor are they likely to have a bash at doing so. Much easier to fall back into old populisms about how ‘masculinity’ is under threat and how the men of today are somehow weak and effeminate. To sum: I think young male insecurity drove a large part of how modern political culture is shaping up.\n\nJust some musings. Would love for someone to weigh in with some facts and figures.

{'comment': 'Part of the path forward has to be policy change and not just messaging.\n\nThe Democrats got out of step with where America is. This has happened before. \n\nIn the 1980’s the Democrats were on their heels and Reagan dominated politics. Democrats were tax and spend liberals who were soft on crime. Clinton resuscitated the party around the economy. He had policy changes and focused much more on job growth rather than social welfare spending.\n\nDemocrats have to get tougher on immigration. This really is the number one Achilles heel. If they don’t do this Republicans will have a persistent advantage for a generation. \n\nDemocrats got on the wrong side of the discussion on social issues. Some of this was pushed by Republicans. But Democrats have no ability to stop the runaway train around social progressivism. People don’t like cancel culture and they want to move more slowly on DEI and other top-down government approaches to legislate social equality. This is probably a more difficult issue for Democrats because there’s what feels like a genetic defect among Democrats to understand the pulse of American society on these issues and to move at a pace that Americans will accept. Instead the instinctive tendency is to always move faster and then to call people racist if society doesn’t just accept it.\n\nDemocrats are actually quite good on the economy. However, the decades-long transition that can’t be ignored is that Democrats went from the party of working class labor to the party of liberal elites. The people that benefited from higher education and the Internet age became Democrats, and everybody else got left behind. Economic inequality is the fundamental dividing line between the parties now, and education level is the key that determines your socio-economic class and party affiliation. Just saying Democrats want to be the working class party isn’t going to work.

There are MANY MANY liberals, and we could spare two million in California or New York without much trouble.\n\nIf we took a bunch of Democrats and moved them to the least populous states - AK, WY, MT, ND, SD - we could easily take over the states - if we voted together.  We\'d secure state houses, governorships, congressional and senate seats - and electoral votes.\n\nWhat gives these states their outsized power is that they are disproportionately populated by Republicans.\n\nNow Democrats at this juncture would probably face violence similar to that visited on African Americans setting up prosperous areas outside the deep South.  So it wouldn\'t be easy.  And it would be tragic if we went through all that and people got splintered anyway.\n\nI don\'t think it\'s our easiest plan.  But it is possible.

{'comment': 'I\'m not so sure about that. The personal attacks on how Biden was old and feeble certainly increased a little over a year ago when the political race ramped up. The absolute hatred for Biden, and unfortunately "concerns over his health" made people flock towards Trump. It happened months before the first debate, and after that debate we just couldn\'t get some people that we otherwise might have swayed back because they got too sucked into the cult. \n\nIf Biden decided he was going to be a one term president and decided to hand the reigns to Harris, instead of continuing on and making undecided people feel more disillusioned because of his "frailty", we might have kept those people on our side. I think Harris was a great, qualified candidate. And I\'m not saying Biden hasn\'t been a good president- but his decision to hold out until a few months ago was the worst decision. \n\nAmerica didn\'t get enough time to \'know\' Harris- even though she was VP for 4 years I didn\'t really see much about her. And when it was time to re-introduce her to the country just a few months before the election the Trump propaganda machine already had lies in place that she was a dumb, deranged drunk. I guarantee you that there are people out there who have NEVER heard an actual speech from her, and actually believe Biden chose a "stupid" person for VP.', 'created': '2024-11-06 14:32:10', 'submission_id': '1gkuy6r'}

{'comment': 'Whatever you think Republicans are they are not morons. They are largely reactionaries who deny anything that intrudes on their desire to return to a mythical past when men were men and women knew their place. They don’t care whether only the wealthy will be better off as a result of the election. Musk wasn’t lying when he said a lot of people will suffer once Trump is in office. As far as what you can do, you’ve already done it by voting. However, understand that this is not the most important or critical election of all time. The elections of Abraham Lincoln in 1860 and of Franklin Roosevelt in 1932 occurred during two resoundingly more contentious periods than 2024.\n\nElecting Trump isn’t going to result in the loss of more than 600,000 American lives in the Civil War and probably not the 25% unemployment rate that FDR had to deal with. I suggest you pick up a few good books on these fraught periods covering the aftermath of the Civil War and the Jim Crow era when thousands of blacks were lynched because they wanted to vote or efforts by Republicans to appease Adolph Hitler in 1939. By reading the history of your country you will learn that there was hardly a decade that was not labeled the worst ever, which will help put election into the proper perspective.

{'comment': '(1) As timeless Clinton ‘92 slogan goes, “It’s economy, stupid.”\n\nHarris Campaign devoted way too much time on what little time they had on what unfortunately are secondary issues to vast majority of voters like democracy and abortion.

Many Latinos are religious and socially conservative. Best option for abortion legalization are through state referendums at this point, unfortunately but realistically.\n\n(3) Speaking of Latinos, a lot of them that I talked to really did not like Venezuelans who crossed the border and took a similar stance as Trump in basically stereotyping them as criminals (a lot of them comes over to their countries too). I really think Democrats as a whole should be really hawkish on the border and immigration enforcement while encouraging legal immigration to highly skilled workers (Republicans’ old platform).\n\n(4) People were growing numb to all of Trump’s rhetorics to a point where they’ve been basically ignore them, but Harris Campaign spent a lotta time talking about it (I mean they were low hanging fruits, but still). \n\nBottom line is that Dem needs to be significantly tough on the border issue and focus on economy without sounding too “elitist” (most people are dumb, eli5 what you will do)', 'created': '2024-11-06 10:00:11', 'submission_id': '1gktme9'}

{'comment': 'There are a handful of problems that the Democratic Party really needs to work on in my opinion. \n\nA. They need to actually reconnect with the voting public. This is evident in a lot of places. Trump used propaganda yes, but it was really how spread out it was. His face was everywhere, he had rallies all the time. The people he wanted in office faces were everywhere. Media about him was literally everywhere. The Democratic Party, as much as it sickens me to say, should take a page out of that book. Send out things by mail to get your voters engaged. Hold events so that your people think their voices are heard. \n\nB. They need to get rid of the bad image that the Republicans have given them. Yes, a lot of people can say they changed how they were voting after Trump\'s last attempt, but it clearly didn\'t change enough people\'s minds. That combined with the smear campaign, our party leader being constantly seen as an aging relic and lackluster performances from our elected officials, has lead to a sort of bad image. They need to do more things to better their image and get people to think of them as a genuine second party again, instead of this bs "them vs. us" mindset that\'s been going on since 2012\n\nC. We need a strong party leader, and actual candidates. Kamala Harris did well in many respects, but the fact that her campaign was shorter then most ever are definitely did not help in this regard. We should not have put Biden up as a candidate this time around, or honestly the previous time. A little controversial, but double that for Hillary Clinton as well.\n\nD. Weak leadership. Our leaders need to grow a spine and fight back against all of this stuff that\'s been thrown at them. The Republican Party is strong because it is united, and it has leadership that is willing to fight with numbers to get what they want. The Democratic party has had a lot of infighting as of late, and does not put out a steady message. See Tim Walz saying the Electoral College needed to be disbanded, and then the campaign having him retract that statement ASAP.\n\nTo continue on with point D, I think we need to take these next four years and strengthen and unite our party. Once we do that, we find someone who is a capable leader, and ready him or her to run for president. Make him or her the public face of the party so that the public recognizes them. do work to actually improve the middle class, and blue collar workers lives. If we can do that, I think we could finally have a Golden Age of the Democratic party.', 'created': '2024-11-06 09:49:34', 'submission_id': '1gktme9'}

{'comment': 'Dems need to become a party of the rural communities.  Dems got complacent with relying on Urban areas to outvote rural counties.  \n\nDems had an intelligent, charming, and great message for uniting people with Kamala (and Tim Walz is the ideal form of masculinity young men need as an example).  Sadly Obama didn\'t have to go up against such a partisan government and people.  He had moderates like McCain and Romney that made up the Republican side and compromises could be made.  Today\'s government is so partisan that Obama wouldn\'t even be able to win and compromises are a thing of the past. \n\nIn order for Dems to win back rural communities, simple direct talk will work best. Give direct examples of "capping this will reduce egg and milk prices to this. doing this will do this to you." Dems focused too much on talking about how their plans affect the rich and corporations (while campaigning in urban areas) and not enough about it affects you this exact way out in "Bumrush, Kentucky." They need to do what Pete Buttigieg did and sit across from them and talk directly to them.  Large crowds and podiums with the same speech won\'t get the job done.  Get dirty, go to small town halls and talk directly to them.  Get the VP doing the same in other places.  Start in states she should have won like PA, MI, WI. \n\nMaybe have policies that not only phase out coal, but bring the new forms of energy to those exact towns if possible.  So many small rural communities only have that type of industry keeping it alive.  So maybe replace the coal mines with a solar farm, or a wind farm, or if they are near rivers, hydro power.  Bring in some people who can really run it, and then give those people the ability to learn and replace that life.  \n\nDems almost need to start back at square one.  They need Millennial and Gen Z votes (and start work on Alpha), Boomers are who they are and won\'t change, Gen X won\'t change and you won\'t find a person to really run from that generation.

Florida's breached 50% but failed because the state requires a minimum of 60% to pass.\n\nFlorida passed a $15/hour minimum wage.\n\nPolicies like medicare for all, net neutrality, abortion rights, and so on are generally popular. Stuff like free school lunches are incredibly popular. These are all things that the Democrats campaign on. It didn't matter.\n\nFrom my frank point of view, I think there will be a lot of blame to distribute, a lot of soul searching, a lot of autopsies, a lot of what-ifs and fingers crossed. Ultimately though I can come to one conclusion: voters across the US will not vote for Democrats. They will vote for candidates who are perceived to incidentally run on the Democrats' ticket, and people like Warnock and Ossoff and Obama have found success that way, but people will not vote for Democrats.\n\nHarris lost, and we'll spend the next few months to year+ doing a lot of hand wringing and soul searching, but fundamentally I believe that voters will simply not vote for Democrats.

It didn’t matter how presidential she looked in comparison. Trump is a way of life for millions of Americans. \n\nDems lost the airwaves when the major cable networks were bought up. We saw this cycle that the billionaires control the papers. And since 2008 and on, they have increasingly lost important pockets of the internet. This is where people get their news. And Trump himself is a constant vortex. Media attention was always on him. \n\nThe party at this point needs a complete rebranding and to find its fighting spirit.

Coalitions take a long time to build and can fracture in an instant. Vs an opponent who has been running for a decade.\n\nPeople may debate if there was a better candidate, but these were exceptional circumstances. She did great. She was stellar in the debate and good to very good in the major speeches. She ran a modern, scrappy campaign. The ground game and donations were there. The campaign did rally after rally hoping to drive turnout. They had the Dem Govs out there along the blue wall. People are already pointing to their preferred choices speculating on whether they’d do better while ignoring the strengths she did have. \n\nBut no doubt, the Dems got rocked. It wasn’t just Harris.

{'comment': 'First, the economy. You can give all the stats and rationale you want, but the fact is that people know their grocery bill is 25-30% higher than it was under Trump. Perception is reality, and that’s a very tangible thing that hits people at the dinner table.\n\nSecond, Democrats haven’t figured out how to appeal to young men. You can say whatever you want about them and their privilege, and regardless of how ridiculous it may sound- the truth is they feel marginalized.\n\nThird, the Democrat read on minorities was way off. Many of them are conservative. There’s also an inherent racism that Trump saying something bad about illegal immigrants means that anyone of Hispanic descent will automatically go blue. Also it seemed like it was assumed that black men were an automatic vote for Harris, and that wasn’t the case. Minority groups aren’t a monolith.\n\nFourth, Harris was already at a disadvantage with the short campaign. And she was caught between trying to tie herself to the administration to get some credit for what Biden has done and appear like she has experience, but at the same time trying to distance herself from a president with an abysmal approval rating.\n\n\n\nThat’s why she lost.

Dropping out 100 days before the election and forcing us to pivot to Harris without knowing much about her was disastrous. \n\n2) We underestimated the power of fear combined with laziness. Trump\'s main strategy was to create scapegoats, scare Americans into believing that they\'re destroying our country, and claim that Harris welcomes them with open arms. Once he created that fear, all he had to was propose a harsh blanket solution. People love simplicity. They want things to be open and shut. Research takes effort and time. Harris\' proposals were detailed and thorough, but for an average Joe to understand them, they\'d need to actually educate themselves. It\'s like Harris wrote a book for us, while Trump just wrote "X IS BAD, Y IS GOOD". Lots of people don\'t want to bother with reading a book, they\'ll just go with the guy makes things simple.\n\n3) Harris didn\'t pick a running mate from a swing state. If she\'d picked Sen.

{'comment': "She spent the final weeks of her short campaign alienating the left and chasing a combination of undecideds that didn't exist and Republicans that weren't gettable. \n\nConventional wisdom is that elections are won by swing voters in the middle. I have never seen any proof that this works at all. It seems like the Ven diagram between having no strong political lean and reliably voting would not have much overlap, and in practice from the elections I've seen in my life time it seems like whoever convertes the most non-voters into votes with a strong radical message generally wins. \n\nTrump spent the last half of his campaign doing exactly that. He beat the drum about immigrants and imports and communists. He fired up his base with righteous ferver and convinced people that his way was the way forward, rather than try and play into a moderate idea of the future. And he just became the first R to win the popular vote in decades.\n\nAnd the chaser is that the Democrats are going to take the exact opposite lesson from this. They will look back and say she didn't appeal to the right enough, she was not moderate enough. They seem to believe on a deep, almost spiritual level that that's how the electorate works and that belief is unfalsifiable. If they win it's always because they followed that belief and not because McCain or Romney were even more moderate. If they lose it's always because they weren't moderate enough to beat their much more extreme opponent.\n\nOr they'll just blame poor people and minorities, but in a woke way. And then do nothing to account for losing those groups.", 'created': '2024-11-06 13:07:10', 'submission_id': '1gksn3l'}

A general lack of understanding about the economy basically provided an opportunity to define the economy as “grocery and gas prices”. That changed to “grocery prices” after gas prices declined (but without lower gas prices improving public perception). \n\nThe fact that so many people readily accepted Kamala’s name being swapped with Biden’s for any and everything related to Biden’s term in office is possibly the most bizarre out of all of the BS people fell for. “Why hasn’t she done the things in the past 3.5 years that she is promising to do now?” It’s mind-boggling that so many people lack the basic understanding of the role of VP.

They have been shouting at us from the news sections on the Justice Department and CISA websites, but I’ve seen maybe 10 articles covering these releases over the past months. \n\nI don’t even think it’s a coverup, I think it’s incompetence or layoffs. Lately it’s felt like the news industry is selling “people who know the bare minimum talking out of their ass for hours about things they saw on Twitter” as news.', 'created': '2024-11-07 00:01:06', 'submission_id': '1gksn3l'}

This country has two types of woman and missed appealing to 3 percent of them. The first woman president has to be more than one political party.\n\nThen obviously trump gave racists a voice better. She didn't rally people enough for change, but maybe just not enough time after all.\n\nI think the biggest thing was education. People rather believe a liar and murderer means we failed long ago. \n\nWe need to work on educating the fools who don't see trump is scum of the worst kind\n\nNot enough voter drives either .

{'comment': 'Reasons Kamala lost:\n\n\\#1. Lack of aggression. Americans are an aggressive people. They don\'t respond well to the "joyful warrior" bullshit. They want angry, insulting, one-liner zingers that can be meme\'d and shared at light speed. \n\n\\#2. Tim Walz. Walz is a clown. A bumbler. A fool. He was weak. He had his one liner, that Trump and Vance were weird, and that was it. Harris should have chosen Josh Shapiro. He was loud, aggressive, and would have taken it to Vance in the VP debate. \n\n\\#3. Unclear answers. She dodged too much and should have given straighter, more aggressive answers that attacked Trump AND reminded people about how bad things were under him. When she was asked "is the country better off than 4 years ago" she should have replied with "well, are we stuffing dead bodies in freezer trucks? No? Then, yeah, I\'d say we\'re better off". Instead she rambled off statistics and kept repeating the same thing over and over again. \n\n\\#4. She\'s a woman. Sorry to say it, but a woman cannot and will not ever be president of the United States. Just how it goes. Maybe in 100 years, assuming we\'re all still here, there might be a chance, but until then, America will always follow the "alpha male" IE, the loudest, most obnoxious ape in the room, and the apes don\'t come more loud and obnoxious than Trump. \n\n\\#5. Failure of the DOJ. Garland dragged his feet (most likely intentionally) on prosecuting Trump. If he had taken him down and gotten a faster trial and a more serious conviction with jail time, yeah, Trump would have been toast. It\'s not like there was a shortage of things to go after him about. \n\nSo, those are my 5 reasons Kamala lost.', 'created': '2024-11-06 09:02:57', 'submission_id': '1gksn3l'}

{'comment': 'I\'m a moderate Democrat, sp as much let me give my opinion as I\'m not the average Democrat here. \n\nThe Democratic Party has veered far enough left from center that the average American doesn\'t feel apart of it. And, this party has gone so far left, thadividve actually pushed voters to the right. \n\nYes. The right has some despicable people in it with blatant prejudices. But, your average American isn\'t like that. They\'re torn seeing one side that\'s calling out issues  and one side that saying we\'ll fix things. They are choosing the party that calls out what doesn\'t feel "right" over the party that doesn\'t. It\'s like when my wife tells me not to talk to tey to fix problems when she\'s venting to me. \n\nMy opinion is that, while it\'s the right thing to do, pushing social agendas isn\'t what\'s getting votes, it\'s giving them votes. If we, instead, tore apart what\'s wrong (education, gas prices, inflation, immigration, etc) loud and hard and then said we had a plan, it would make a big difference in 4 years. But we need to be active about it every step of the way. Don\'t let Trump get away with more golf trips without calling him out in every failure he develops now. Call him out on immigration and crime rates to show he lied, etc. \n\nBut, most importantly, step closer to center. Propose bipartisan bills that don\'t take guns away but increase protections that they sign on, etc. Things that get the swing voters to see the Democratic party is changing. Because ... People ... we\'re swinging red here ... you will not have a Dem in office if we can\'t get the growing army of young Christian conservative voters our way in 2028.', 'created': '2024-11-06 14:25:41', 'submission_id': '1gksn3l'}

{'comment': 'This is a good analysis.\n\n1. I agree, Democrats liked to talk about the strength of the macro economy (GPD, DOW, etc.) but the reality is that the micro economy (buying power, general prices) generally sucked for many of Americans. People vote on their wallets and not that the GPD is up because they don\'t *feel* that.\n\n2. I agree and I definitely underestimated the impact of the young male vote. But looking back, it\'s not that young men went overwhelmingly to Trump, it\'s that I know Harris didn\'t do a single thing to appeal to that group.\n\n3. This is a really interesting perspective on minorities and makes sense. Black presidential candidates don\'t automatically get the black vote. A woman candidate doesn\'t automatically get the woman vote. And I do think Harris\' campaign ran very reactively on immigration. Instead of platforming strong immigration policies, they eventual fell back on bashing Trump\'s mass deportation plan. Which, say what you will about mass deportation, his supporters will see that as at least a plan where Harris had no plan except to reintroduce a the border bill. Which, on that, I\'ll say 99% of American voters don\'t know how bills work so when you say you\'re just going to introduce a bill on immigration, that doesn\'t feel like it does anything at all.\n\n4. I saw a lot of people bashing Harris for essentially "doing nothing in the 4 years she was in office". Which I think is unfair because it\'s not like people are out there parading what Pence did during Trump\'s presidency. But it was a rhetoric the GOP went with and I think it actually dug in pretty deep and worked against Harris\' favor. She was seen as the appointed candidate with no primary tied to a current president that people are iffy on and people are wildly unimpressed with her track record.\n\nAnd maybe I should\'ve seen this coming. Sure, she surged in approval and enthusiasm, but before being appointed to the presidential nominee, her approval rating was disastrously low. Many people did not like her and perhaps it was naive from the very start to assume that was somehow magically going to change once "America was introduced to her."', 'created': '2024-11-06 08:42:48', 'submission_id': '1gksn3l'}

Like it or not. \n\nPerception is reality for most people so MESSAGING is everything. Look at Trump. His policies are idiotic but he’s consistent and clear in his message and Biden in contrast has not had a consistent message on these topics. He’s been perceived as hands-off, hiding, aloof and not acknowledging the issues. \n\nPeople finally SAW that he was facing age-related issues after being told “oh, he’s fine.” People SEE white collar jobs being laid off in masses and outsourcing. People SEE immigrants taking over the homeless shelters in their cities. Democrats need to at least acknowledge that these things are happening instead of going “the economy is great, what are you talking about” or “it’s racist to not want immigrants.”\n\nI say all this as a staunch Harris supporter. I don’t blame her. She was handed a turkey - a few months to develop a fresh message for the Democrats to say that America will be different under her but she also was part of the current administration. She did the best she could have done. If Biden let all the negatives from post-COVID fall on him, knowing that he would be a one-term president, he could’ve soaked up the blame while someone else came up and had a clean slate.', 'created': '2024-11-06 17:21:04', 'submission_id': '1gksn3l'}

It’s absolutely a double standard. But here’s the thing- I hold us and myself to a higher standard. We are never going to match them hate for hate and win. Our appeal and our strength is in our empathy and compassion, especially when it’s for everyone regardless of your political affiliation.  \n\nSo yes, you’re right about what I’m asking and I know exactly what I’m asking for. But when we stood up for POC, for women, for gay people… we never did it based on them reciprocating it. We did it because it was the right thing to do. And maybe I’m old and out of touch now and maybe Liberals just don’t have that level of compassion anymore.\n\n\nI also think it needs to be pointed out that the men we are talking about aren’t people my age or our parents age. They didn’t see the blatant sexism that older generations saw. They grew up in a MeToo era with buzzwords like “male privilege” and “toxic masculinity” flying around, and reached adulthood when universities companies were competing for female or minority candidates and much less enthused about males and especially white males, and then struggled with not being able to provide as a single breadwinner or afford a house, because the primary thing that carried over from older eras are the expectations about how a man should take care of his family.  It’s not hard to see how this generation of men could be vulnerable. I’m not excusing them, but at the core of a lot of these men, there’s a human being who is hurting. \n\n\nThat’s why I ask what I do, even if it’s a big ask.

Oh look, an erudite and well-spoken, and sane, *black man* in the White House. Maybe not progressive enough for me, but I loved him as President and with Biden at his side. But, oh, the backlash...that's the worst part. The systemic racism of the US led people to rise up and make sure that would not happen again. And, vilify the party who put him there, too.\n\nAnd it's worse now that we're more polarized. Look at Japan where (and I need to read up on more of this) a change of party leadership is earthshattering, in a country with a fairly homogenous culture and a collectivist mindset. But Americans are diverse, and mainly individualistic, and a lot of us are fine if we get ours, and to hell with everybody else. Here, politics is a war, and we flip flop on party and policy every chance we can get.\n\nWe've got one side that likes to use reason, and one side that wants to win at any cost, damn the laws, damn principles, full speed ahead to victory and power.\n\nI'm too hurt and numb to come up with any ideas.\n\nProbably the most rational is to dissolve the Union.

In a society where it is increasingly impossible to support a family on a reasonable work week, the traditional dream of working 40 hours a week and going home to your family is gone.\n\nAnd this is what they were raised to expect their lives to look like.\n\nMost young people I know live together, because none of them can afford an apartment on their own.  And they all have to work their asses off to afford the rent, even communally.\n\nEverybodies credit rating is trash, and everything is increasingly dependent on that.

{'comment': '>I guess empathy is just too much to ask?\n\nWell… that’s the question isn’t it? Is empathy too much to ask for from them? But is it also too much to ask for from you? I fully believe that young men (and a lot of Trump voters in general) get sucked into the right because they are hurting.\n\n>Why should I ever care about men when they have demonstrated that they would rather women bleed to death in a parking lot or let a teenager die of sepsis than not be the absolute center of attention at every instance.\n\nI can never fully understand your pain and anger because I’m not a woman, but I am a father of two young daughters that I voted to try to protect yesterday, so I do feel my own level of pain and anger here.\n\nBut let’s break down your statement. I truly don’t think that any young men (well, I shouldn’t say *any* because there are always a few sickos) actually want women dying of sepsis and bleeding out of parking lots. And I don’t think it’s fair to reduce it down to wanting to be “the absolute center of attention at every instance.” I don’t think that’s a fair statement.\n\nAnd the problem with saying things like that, is that it’s demeaning and insulting, and only further confirms what outlets on the Right are saying… that the Left hates them, that it doesn’t care about their pain, that it sees them as a joke and a scapegoat. And you can argue that they’re deserving of the contempt they get, but we can all see how well that is working as a political strategy.\n\nI also think that we need to realize that there’s a typically certain amount of privilege needed to vote for someone else’s best interests. Thankfully I am surviving well enough that I can think past next week’s grocery bill. I mentioned having two daughters… If I were really struggling- working two jobs just to keep them clothed and fed, worried about where the next mortgage payment would come from- and I truly believed (erroneously, but a lot of people do believe this) that Trump would be the difference between me being able to take care of my family or not, would I have voted for Harris because it’s best for others? I honestly don’t know. Being able to vote for the greater good is something of a luxury that some people who are struggling to just survive might not be able to afford.\n\nThe bottom line is that I think we are only going to be able to pull voters back with compassion- even if they have made awful choices, and we will only push them away if we continue to show contempt.\n\nThere will always be some psychopaths out there.

{'comment': 'The responses in here are not good for the Dems future prospects. Blaming everything and everyone but the policies. News flash: you just lost the House, Senate, Electoral College, and popular vote. This isn’t white men’s fault. White women performed well for trump. Black people performed well for Trump. Latinos performed well for Trump. They all outperformed projections. The Democrats have an identity problem. They are running on issues that it would be a luxury for many Americans to prioritize: culture wars, social issues, etc. They have absolutely lost touch with the working class American. Dems deluded themselves into thinking that people would trust the economy under Biden thanks to the stock market and GDP, but forgot about the price of groceries and gas. The Dems had no strategy for turning out young white guys. Two things are true here: there is a patriarchy/male privilege to some extent, but Dems did not carve out a role for young white males.\n\nThe results here are so resounding that it cannot be the effect of sexism, racism, or one specific voter demographic. It is a complete and utter disconnect between platform and voter interests. The Dems are pie in the sky academics who try to look and sound smart and virtuous but cannot connect with the median voter. It’s time to ditch the academic, woke, moral authority angle.

{'comment': 'Yes I agree. Although I think hubris from the Democrats did cause their loss in both 2016 and 2024 but each year for different reasons. \n\n2016, Clinton is part of a political dynasty (no one likes that) and the party didn’t have a competitive primary because who wanted to run against her when she had been running in the background already for years? Bernie was the only one who put up a fight against her and I think he would have beaten Trump. It was a terrible campaign they ran.\n\n2024, I don’t blame Harris. She, IMO, was more likable than Clinton, more easygoing and friendly. Harris truly did the best she could in the time she had, in the shadow of this administration. She was between a rock and a hard place. She ran a strong ground game and wasn’t taking anything for granted. \n\nBut BIDEN was the hubristic one. I feel like Biden lost, in a way, instead of Harris. He should have stepped aside after the 2022 midterms. The party should have been (in the background) building up a 2024 bench. After Dems did AMAZING in the midterms, the momentum was perfect. “I served as a bridge candidate to help us get past Trump and Covid.

{'comment': "> How are people missing this connection? It's not subtle.\n\nBecause voters won't vote for Democrats.\n\nI think it's pragmatic to point out a variety of different things, like the insane amount of money run into campaigns on social media, executive meddling in the media, and so on and so on.\n\nUltimately though, voters won't vote for Democrats. It's a very straightforward explanation for what happened. Voters will vote for a Joe Biden, an Obama, an AoC, a Warnock, an Ossoff, a Kelly, but they will not vote for a Democrat. Harris was seen as a Democrat, and not as Harris, and therefore the electorate will not vote for her. I don't quite see how else given the circumstances, running a presidential campaign in a brief 3 months with no otherwise national presence. Voters will vote for an individual running on the Democrats' ticket in a heavily GOP-leaning state, but they do so because of the individual, not because they're a Democrat.", 'created': '2024-11-07 00:20:55', 'submission_id': '1gksn3l'}

{'comment': 'I\'m very unhappy.  I\'m gay 🌈  and moved to CA in retirement from the Deep South so I could feel safe.  I was married for a few years but am now divorced.  I remember growing up in the 70s and being totally into the closet into my early 50s.  I fear for the young LGBTQ people who are going to lose their rights to marriage and anti-discrimination laws.  \n\nOne reason I was so disgusted by the Deep South the few years I lived there was the blatant racism. Having grown up in the Midwest, I just found it repugnant.  I was a registered Republican from \'84 (Reagan) until I moved to CA.  Mostly because I\'m fiscally conservative.  But I\'d been voting more and more Blue every election. \n\nMy biggest concern isn\'t so much the Fascism as it is the shifting to a "Christian Nation" mindset.  It\'s no secret all the gerrymandering the Republicans engaged in and how they want to get control enough state legislatures controlled to force a Constitutional Convention.  They they\'ll declare America a "Christian Nation". Freedom of Religion will survive, but all other religions will be secondary. Religion will be a justifiable reason for misogyny and discrimination.  \n\nI\'m going to spend the next four years kind of like I have the last four.  Living my life.  I\'m a shut-in (I\'m a 100% P&T disabled vet and on SSDI for PTSD).  I\'ll go to my doctor appointments and just exist.\n\nI do have a subscription to International Living magazine (for expats) and have for over ten years.  I\'ll continue to read about moving, but realistically, I have a dog and it would be a lot of work.  I am trying to learn some foreign languages with the Babbel lifetime all-languages subscription.  Moving isn\'t entirely out of the question.\n\nThen it\'ll be a game of wait and see.  A Trump Prssidency is going to kick in a recession.  Tariffs will raise the prices of everything. Expanding the corporate tax cuts hasn\'t increased jobs or wages in the past, so I don\'t expect it to when they do it again.  They\'ll balloon the national debt again and not raise taxes for any reason, so Social Security and Medicare are screwed.  I\'m going to plan a 30% reduction in my SSDI in five years. \n\nSo in four years, we\'ll have another recession, Trump will probably be out of office via either natural causes or the 25th Amendment, and JD Vance will be President, and the country will be a mess.  That\'s usually when Democrats swoop in and fix it.', 'created': '2024-11-06 08:31:10', 'submission_id': '1gksmdm'}

{'comment': 'To suggest that he has no connection to the Heritage Foundation or P2025 is just factually incorrect. He has already a proven track record of following past Heritage Foundation policies and suggestions. He might not have been involved in creating Project 2025, but he certainly will be following their policy suggestions as he did in the past. \n\nDuring his previous term, he supported 2/3 of The Heritage Foundation’s policy recommendations. Multiple of his previous cabinet appointments were Heritage Foundation members. Three of the co-authors of the Project 2025 document were high ranking former members of his previous administration. \n\nSince he only has “concepts of plans”, you can almost be assured that they will spoon feed him with the garbage in that guidebook.', 'created': '2024-11-06 08:34:05', 'submission_id': '1gksmdm'}

{'comment': 'You’re absolutely right on point 1: there should have been a primary within the Democratic Party, perhaps during the DNC convention. The people would have had transparency of democracy.\n\nRegarding point 2, I believe the country is ready for a female president. However, neither Kamala Harris nor Hillary Clinton had or has demonstrated the leadership ability or experience to gain broad public confidence for the highest office. Many people I’ve spoken with—both Republicans and Democrats—feel that the strongest female candidate would be someone with a background in governance, such as a governor or a military leader.\n\nCurrently, the only two Democratic female politicians who would resonate as authentic leaders, rather than appearing fake or power grabbing, would be Gretchen Whitmer and Tulsi Gabbard. Unfortunately, Gabbard left the Democratic Party because of the extreme shift, but she likely would have been the strongest female contender for the presidency and I believe may have beat Trump. \n\n*I am neither a Dem nor Rep and did not vote this election cycle.', 'created': '2024-11-06 08:03:29', 'submission_id': '1gks93z'}

The voting populace does not care about policy or plans, they care about vibes. Harris unfortunately doesn’t seem super comfortable when talking off the cuff. Obama was amazing at this and that’s why he comfortably won twice. Same with Bill Clinton. We can talk about how Trump sounds like a crazy idiot all day long but he somehow connects with people.', 'created': '2024-11-06 07:46:50', 'submission_id': '1gks1jf'}

It appears that a lot of people who voted Biden in 2020 didn't vote at all in 2024. They didn't switch, or flip, or do anything... They just sat it out.\n\nIn this day and age, strange as it may seem, many Americans still can't pull that lever for a woman... no matter how many people tell them it's ok to do so....

Immigrants and especially illegal ones have some of the lowest crime rates because they don\'t want to be deported. Please tell me how illegals are ruining your life? \n\nAnd your little dog whistle of "cultures and values to preserve". Aka you\'re scared of all the non white people and racist.\n\nWhat about the border control policies that were every single thing Republicans have asked for that they refused to vote for because it would make Biden look good? Republicans only care about winning, not actually improving this country. Trump lied his ass off about his performance on the border. He lied about Mexico paying for the wall. The wall he built was a tiny fraction and the contracts went to friends of his campaign. They were built horribly. Portions of it now are already (4 years after his presidency) falling apart. But none of that was a grift by a shitty person at all. Or the never ending "migrant caravans" "news" when democrats are in office. But Trump said he "fixed the border" so yea everything was perfect and then Biden personally went down to Mexico and started carrying migrants through the desert.\n\n>Have you ever stopped and thought maybe you\'re the one who is brainwashed?\n\nYea that horrible lying liberal media you all complain about ruined me... except I don\'t watch cable news... nevermind that somehow the liberal media supposedly controls the narrative and is fake news but Fox News is literally the "most watched cable news" and "the highest rated" but yea they speak the truth (tm) and are totally the small underdog fighting for the American people.

I had friends die of COVID when Trump was president. I don’t speak to a family member because of the racist jokes they have said about immigrants. We have to speak out and resist in the ways we can. It is exhausting.\n\nBut there is progress even now. Think back to 2004 and where we were on abortion and LGBTQ rights. What about women in leadership or religious representation? The country *is* more inclusive. Some people may not like it, and indeed, I think what we’re seeing is the aftershocks of the Obama days. We nominated a black, Asian woman married to a divorced Jewish guy. Do you think that was possible in the 90s? Or take a longer view and think about how Kamala herself was part of a wave of kids who desegregated her school district? That wasn’t so long ago.\n\nKamala got asked recently why Dems sometimes offer ideas and legislature that they know won’t get passed. She said something like that the battles aren’t won or lost in a single vote or with a single attempt. A movement takes time, but it doesn’t mean that it’s not worth picking ourselves up and fighting again. \n\nWe are on the right side of history.

It was never substantiated, just fabricated by him and his innumerable cronies, stories of ballot dumping and people casting ballots of dead people, etc.\n\nThese are telltale signs of a person who wants to remain in power, and his messaging to his followers to hate everyone who aren\'t like them and follow his movement over country is fascism. All you have to do is look through the pages of history books to see people who were just like him.

{'comment': "The comparison to 2020 tallies explain it. Trump kept his base support, while Harris and the Democrats base didn't show up. So 2 big assumptions (largely pushed by the media and also what you think would be human decency) were wrong this cycle 1. Trump's controversies (Jan 6, classified documents case, defaming/sexual assault conviction etc) would decrease his votes and support (it did NOT) and 2 Harris nomination would energized the Democratic party and increase base turnout, as shown through her packed rallies/events (it did NOT).\n\nSo Trump was right in what he said years ago, he could shoot his supporters and not lose votes (not a significant amount anyway). His 2020 and 2024 voter numbers are pretty similar, he lost a little support but really not that much (especially considering all the corruption he's pulled). The difference in 2020 was Biden was able to increase Democratic turnout by just enough to win. So the assumption in this election was Harris would keep Biden's numbers and actually increase, but in the case she didn't increase Biden's numbers, Trump's support had decline so much that she would still win anyway. That's the parts they were wrong about, and honestly it shouldn't be a surprise considering we were dealing with a cult.\n\nSo yeah those are the two major take aways 1 Trump can't seem to lose voters no matter what he does and 2 Harris couldn't keep Biden's number for some reason (despite having an even more progressive platform). Some take aways from this election cycle is, truth didn't matter, facts didn't matter, record didn't matter and even what voters said was important (age of candidate, immigration, economy) didn't matter. Trump's old af, people still voted for him. His immigration and economic platforms are gonna cause chaos and increase prices and white male rural voters don't give af. White male rural voters wanted to put a white male guy that can do and say whatever he wants without consequences into the White House. Hate to say it, but Democrats probably need to get a charismatic young white guy from the midwest or south to run in 2028.

And I've heard more black and Hispanic guys talk about voting for Trump than any Republican in my life. None have says anything about a Kamala being a woman. \n\nLiterally the only issue I've heard brought up by minority males is transgenders. Maybe it's religion, maybe it's the machismo culture. Honestly it's probably burn. But they have stopped caring about why other issues.\n\nGay marriage isn't even a settled issue. Theres a good chance the current Supreme Court will probably end up overturning it. Where we saw is winning the war, the right saw themselves as losing a battle. And they came back hard, while we moved on to the next civil rights issue. \n\nI'm all for anyone living their lives however they want. But pushing transgender issues has given us a second round of Trump. I fucking hate to say it, but it's what I'm hearing from people who've probably never voted Republican in their lives. \n\nAnd the Republicans know how to push a narrative regardless of truth. And I don't know how to combat that. I sure as hell don't want to see discrimination occur anywhere. But while I hate it, it's 100% being used to bring us towards fascism. The same thing happened during the Weimar Republic in Germany. Germany was super liberal before the Nazis. And fascists know how to rile people up. \n\nThe pendulum swung too far to the left, too fast. Sustaining cultural changes don't occur quickly. Force things too quickly, and people reject them.\n\nLook how long before black people gained civil rights and enslavement. It took decades, and there's still a shitload of racists out there. It took people actually meeting and getting to know black people before changes began to occur.\n\nLook how long it took for a majority of the population to accept gay people. It took decades, and only happened as people came out, and homophobic people realized how many loved ones were gay. They realized that gay people are people just like themselves. \n\nI feel bad for transgendered people, because they have a difficult life, full of hate and discrimination.

{'comment': 'I’m reluctantly replying to this post, not expecting my message to make much difference. My concerns with the DNC as a whole stem from the perception that they often dismiss voters who lean Republican as “uneducated” or uninformed. This attitude is not only insulting but also seems out of touch with a significant part of the American population, most of whom did not attend college. This approach alienates a large number of potential voters and makes the party seem disconnected from their realities.\n\nAnother issue is the heavy emphasis on certain identity factors—such as being a woman or a person of color—in selecting a candidate. While diversity is important, these characteristics shouldn’t be the primary reasons to support or oppose a candidate. When they become the focal point, it can feel forced and divisive.\n\nThe way Kamala Harris was positioned as a candidate without a primary selection also felt mismanaged. Voters didn’t get a say, and this top-down approach was a missed opportunity to build trust. Many felt alienated by being told they were “dumb, racist, or sexist” for not supporting a candidate who seemed “installed” rather than chosen by the people. This loss of trust cost the party support and power.\n\nI hope lessons will be learned in the next election cycle, though I worry they won’t be.', 'created': '2024-11-10 06:50:30', 'submission_id': '1gkqyza'}

Every single Trump supporter cited complete BS as their reason for voting for him (or would have but couldn’t vote). \n\nThe reasons ranged from the predictable false narrative pushed by the right to extremely bizarre like “the economy”/grocery prices (with 60%-400% inflation, somehow $4/gal milk was an example) are Biden’s fault, the Inflation Reduction Act caused inflation, “he gave us checks during Covid” (as in from his personal account) and “Democrats were the slave owners, there was never a party switch” (if the Republicans will give us back “our” flag and stop losing their minds when we want to remove “our” statues, that’d be great). \n\nThere was also,, “Why didn’t Kamala fix those things the past 3.5 years?” Idu how so many people haven’t known what the role of a VP is for all these years. That’s something very basic everyone should have learned in elementary school. It’s tempting to blame the education system but that isn’t reasonable since half the population seems to have that common knowledge. It’s also not helpful to blame education since that eliminates the possibility of a solution.

We have not tried everything to combat it yet. \n\n“The economy” campaign began in 2021 to build on and maintain a negative perception of the economy. It was definitely effective. That campaign will not continue from the same groups that have been pushing it, it’s already primed so we’re all going to have to keep it going. Presidents set grocery and gas prices, right? That is their truth, we can play along with that. Gas prices going up 10¢ will qualify for whining and bitching. Grocery prices still high in Feb? We’ll be bitching. Wage growth was above average under Biden, it won’t be under DJT so a legitimate gripe to add to the list.\n\nSince the role of the Vice President is basically the same as President (still a WTF), “Trump and Vance” will be equally responsible for all things negative (or possibly more so Vance to get a head start on derailing his possible run in 2028).', 'created': '2024-11-07 02:31:09', 'submission_id': '1gkqyza'}

{'comment': "This is also reflective of a deeply naive and arrogant assumption among Democrats that groups like 'Latinos' will be electorally dominant and certainly pro-Democrat, versus conservative, over time. Almost all latino immigrant populations are far more conservative on numerous social issues than many on the 'democratic left' understand. \n\nThat a significant portion of younger people have been moving toward conservatism, not away from it, has been quite clear for some years, but it's something most Democrats have taken an ostrich approach to. The reasons why are complex, and while it certainly has a lot to do with the influence of social media and the relative death of legacy professional media, since it sank to access/activist journalism, it's also because there's a deep seated rejection in large parts of the country of many of the fringe ideas that gain so much sm/pop culture attention, like the so-called 'trans issue' and perception of the impacts of 'wokeism' against ideas like truth and intellectual rigor, or the socratic method. A few hours of Boghossian videos talking to American undergrad and post-grad students illustrates this very sharply. \n\nA similar principle applies on the degree to which so many democrats who live in very democratic areas lack an understanding of the rest of the country and the people who live there. Righting this event off to 'racism' and 'incels' or the relative low education levels of those who voted Republican is simply more of the same mistakes the Democratic party have been making for a decade, in particular. Browsing the comments in threads like this only illuminate the gulf in understanding what America is, versus the percieved understanding many democrats and progressives have of the country. \n\nIt's a reckoning point for the Democratic party. It's too early to say, but the signs from before yesterday and in the initial reaction do not suggest real introspection and serious strategy/policy is going to be the reaction. That's as concerning, perhaps even more, than the consequences of last night's vote, which extend far, far beyond America, and will be even more serious outside America.", 'created': '2024-11-06 22:32:03', 'submission_id': '1gkqyza'}

Unlike 2016,\n\n\nBut this is, what it is.\n\n\nAs a FL native, Trumps nearly double since 2020 increase in margin of victory is blowing my mind. Especially the approx 600k less Democrat votes for Harris in this election, as opposed to Biden in 2020.\nNote the Increase for Trump is only around 300k at the moment, so there's pushing near half a million votes that just are not present here in 2024.\n\n\nFlorida's population is booming and at face value appeared to be mainly newer younger migrant as opposed to the traditional retirees.\n\n\nBut she barely won more votes number wise than Hilary in 2016. And the total vote for both parties is drastically lower than it should statistically be in correlation to population growth.\n\n\nAgain I'm only stating this as focusing on here in FL.

{'comment': 'I may be wrong, but Kamala Harris was a prosecutor. And the peculiarity of being a prosecutor is that such people can rarely be leaders. At the same time, businessmen, as people from the very bottom who know management well, easily accept the role of a leader. I really don’t know how you can elect a sheep to govern you. Harris constantly lies, her speeches make you feel ashamed. And she constantly mobilizes the electorate: depending on her needs, she remembers that she is black, Indian, but forgets that she is a descendant of slave owners. As a result, you want to elect a two-faced puppet president instead of a straightforward, sometimes eccentric and unpredictable Trump. I would say that you trust emotions more than common sense.

They should have chosen someone appealing to moderate republicans who feel alienated by MAGA republicans, and I don’t believe this was the time to see if the US was ready for a female president.

{'comment': 'Sexism is always a factor. It is not more of a factor now than it was in the past.\n\nThese results are because, given a blank slate campaign start and the opportunity to break itself from the currently very unpopular administration, the Harris campaign absolutely sprinted to the middle, embraced the current administration completely, and instead of offering anything with mass appeal like Medicare for All, they thought they were going to win the suburbs by putting Dick Fucking Cheney on the stage to talk about how much Republicans love Harris and how he really looks forward to being appointed to the Harris administration.\n\nIf the party wants to win elections, they need to abandon the neoliberal pipe-dream of reclaiming the white suburban vote, embrace the left and stop trying to out-Republican the Republicans. Suburban Republican voters will not ever choose Diet Republican over Republican Classic, and that\'s always been a losing strategy for this party.\n\nThe Harris campaign had tremendous momentum before she even spoke a word in public *because* the only thing voters knew about her was that she wasn\'t Joe Biden. And the first words out of her mouth were "actually I\'m Joe Biden."\n\nThis failure is not because of sexism. It is not because of Muslim voters. **It is because Kamala Harris\' campaign dropped the ball from straight out of the gate and did everything it could to lose.** The campaign identified every positive opportunity and kicked them all to the curb in favor of pretending Liz Cheney is the running-mate.\n\nDon\'t even get me started on the "opportunity economy" stuff. Who the hell was that for, exactly? "We\'re gonna give small businesses a tax credit." Like, great, you\'re giving my boss a tax cut. Cool? Pretty sure my boss is voting for Trump anyway, but sure, I\'m gonna feel really good watching him buy another Porsche while I eat my nightly struggle meal of expired beans and rice. What an appealing policy platform. So excited to vote for that.\n\nThe DNC has embraced Radical Centrism. Their policy platform operates on the same logic as someone reading the back of a frozen pizza box that says "bake for between 20 and 22 minutes." 21 minutes it is! Trump wants to do a Madagascar Plan and deport millions of people, and the left wants to not deport anyone? Let\'s just split the difference and do precisely half a holocaust! Let\'s just cede the framing of the entire issue to our opponents and agree that immigration is bad in general! We tried to pass a right-wing border bill! Remember how we did that? How we did everything the Republicans demanded we do and they still whiffed the football when we went for the kick?\n\nThe party spent months arresting young protestors and calling students Hamas terrorists and Russian agents and it\'s shocked that students aren\'t voting for them, as if the DNC was just owed those votes because that\'s how it\'s supposed to work.\n\nThose of us on the left were screaming from the rafters trying to warn the party that these are the problems and this was how it was going to go. Instead, the Harris campaign brought on the flunkies who ran Biden\'s campaign into the grave to run *her* campaign into the same grave.\n\nBut sure, let\'s ignore all of those factors and say America hates women so we can wash our hands of this entire thing without learning a single actionable lesson from this abject failure of a campaign.', 'created': '2024-11-06 05:01:14', 'submission_id': '1gkpojh'}

{'comment': 'To the rest of the world, millions of us tried.\n\nMillions of them failed.\n\nWe are sorry. We really, and truly, are.\n\nExit poll interviews were insane.\n\n"Who did you vote for?"\n\n* "Trump, because Harris never talked about her policies."\n* "Trump because Harris just said she was better than him."\n* "Trump because women do not belong in the White House." (by a woman)\n* "Trump because we need energy independence, border security, and the economy!" (economy is the best it has been in 50 years, we are more energy independent than we have ever been in our history, and Trump killed the immigration bill that would have corrected a lot of flaws on the border)\n\nTrump supporters, and it includes "Democrats" who voted for him, chose to remain willfully ignorant on issues and embraced their racism and the patriarchy. I say this as a straight, white, male in a deep red state.\n\nWe had a low voter turnout. I do not know how to fight voter apathy, but we did not get the numbers we needed. \n\nTrump lied about so many things that were easy to disprove, but Harris and her team did not hold his feet to the fire. They just kept making TikToks, asking for money, and doing the same speech at every rally she went to.\n\nI am stunned, as I am sure most Dems are, with the turnout at her rallies and the funds she raised, how she lost so badly. Her rallies were insanely large, thousands and thousands of people there, most of Trump\'s rallies were hundreds of people, maybe 1200.\n\nThe biggest issue, I saw, was the cost of groceries and that is why people voted for Trump. There is nothing the President can do, in a free economy, about the cost of groceries without Congress getting involved for price gouging.\n\nJust wait until they realize how bad Trump\'s tariff plan is going to be on their pocketbooks.\n\nI can already hear it now "but we didn\'t know that is what would happen! Trump said China would pay those..."\n\nSo many women here are falling all over themselves with excitement that Trump won. They have no idea the change that is coming for them and their family. \n\nThe ultimate goal of the Republican party this time around is get women out of the work force and back in the kitchen, including stripping them of their right to vote,  to get immigrants out of the country, and return the USA to the 1950s where white men were in control of everything. If a woman did work outside of the home she was a secretary, at best, and the minority populations stayed on their side of town and in their hovels.\n\nWhite women voted against their own reproductive rights in crazy high numbers. They voted against their daughter and grand-daughter\'s rights as well. Trump is going to appoint at least 2, possibly 3, more Supreme Court Justices in the next 4 years.\n\nWe will have the farthest right leaning court the country has ever had in its history.\n\nThis country has screwed itself so bad, so terribly, that there will be no recovery even after Trump leaves office. The damage he is going to do is unimaginable and he is going to get away with all of it.\n\nHe has already floated the idea of doing away with term limits and installing himself as the king of America. People in our country actually want this. Millions of people in this country want this.\n\nWe have learned nothing from history, we shun education, and praise the wealthy as gods. This is America today.\n\nI have already had to do a light scrub of other social media platforms because some of the people I went to church with as a kid were "liking" anti-Trump posts from 2016, and they are all avid Trump supporters.\n\nThis is just the beginning and there is no one coming to rescue us from ourselves.', 'created': '2024-11-06 14:46:37', 'submission_id': '1gkkowd'}
